Lionel Messi has been named MLS Player of the Matchday presented by Michelob Ultra after continuing his incredible form for Inter Miami CF .
The Argentine superstar scored braces in back-to-back wins against New England Revolution and Nashville SC, both 2-1 victories. That makes it five consecutive league matches with two goals for Messi — a record in MLS history.
He has now scored 11 goals in his last six games, tying Josef Martínez for the most goals over a six-match stretch in league history.
Lionel Messi also sits joint-top of the Golden Boot race with 16 goals, level with Sam Surridge of Nashville.
With 36 goals and 23 assists in his last 35 MLS appearances, Messi continues to average over 1 goal per game and 1.68 goal contributions per game.
He is also on track to become the first player in league history to win back-to-back Landon Donovan MLS MVP awards.
