Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi secured his second consecutive MLS Golden Boot on Saturday, after the club finished second in the Eastern Conference with a 3‑3 draw against Charlotte on the final day of the regular season.
Messi, who did not score in the match at Nu Stadium, provided the assists for the first two goals, helping the defending champions earn a home‑field advantage in the first two playoff rounds.
The 26‑goal tally makes Messi the first player to win back‑to‑back MLS Golden Boots, a record that underscores his prolific scoring in the league.
Petar Musa of Dallas finished second on the scoring chart with 22 goals, and he did not find the net in his club’s 3‑1 home victory over Colorado.
Inter Miami’s strong finish to the season, coupled with Messi’s individual accolades, positions the club as a formidable contender in the upcoming playoffs.
