    Why Lionel Messi is the 2024 MLS MVP | Twellman’s Takes



    Taylor Twellman explains why Lionel Messi is his 2024 MLS MVP!

    Despite missing time with injuries and not playing in as many games as other MVP candidates like Cucho Hernandez and Christian Benteke, Messi has still cemented himself as the Most Valuable Player. Inter Miami just had the best MLS regular season of all time, and if they can pull off an MLS Cup win, it could potentially be the best season in the the history of the league.
    Messi had 20 goals and 16 assists in just 19 games! It’s absurd. Make no mistake about it, he is the league MVP.

      To me, the award is about the most valuable player on the field. His impact on players signing there is an indirect impact. This is an award for the MLS regular season. We saw how the team did with him out, they didn't exactly struggle with him gone. If you took Christian Benteke out of the lineup for 9 games, DC probably loses every single game. If Albert Rusnack missed 9 games the Sounders would have had a real bad time.
      He is undoubtedly the most talented player in the league, I just don't think he was the most valuable on the field this season.

      An easy comment about MLS: Messi scores the same kind of goals he did in Europe monsters because IT DOES NOT MATTER EUROPE OR USA. No ONE CAN STOP HIM so yes easy mvp.

      Is it an award for value or attendance? The other candidates needed 30+ games to put up similar numbers to what Messi did in 19 games.

      Hello… I am Argentine, which is why I see little of your "soccer". But I like your informative dynamic, when with little data you manage to make an acceptable video. I have subscribed to you a while ago. Keep rowing and don't let us down. Thank you.

      Acosta is MVP by far, he's got Cincinnati on his back again this season with maybe 1/4 the talent. Messi has a supporting cast around him that have CHEMISTRY with him. Plus Messi has always had a supporting cast around him whether it was PSG OR Barcelona as well as the National team! You notice Cincinnati has been struggling lately since teams are guarding Acosta now. They know nobody else can create chances with the ball at their feet.

      I wish there were a stat that tracked which goals and assists ACTUALLY ended up yielding points to their team. Like if a players scores and they go from 2-1 to 3-1, they get zero points, since their team was already winning. But if they score and go from 1-1 to 2-1, then they get 2 points. And if they score and go from 0-1 to 1-1, they get 1 point.

      The MVP at the end of the season would be the one with most points.

      You could count assists, too.

      The right call. Messi shouldn't be punished because the league doesn't pause during most international breaks. And besides, he also has the most goal contributions in the league — leading Cucho by a full three. This is a no-brainer.

      I believe you should hush your mouth and stop guesing the Lion king moves….its a supernatual gife just sit back like everybody els and enjoy MVP Messiii 🏆 2024 awards 👈😇

      One key question. When Messi didn't arrive, was there a football player who could win titles and bring Inter Miami to where it is today?It should be remembered that Inter Miami is a club without any previous achievements or titles and it is not easy to go from 0 to 100 in just one season.Doesn't that prove Messi's worthiness to win the MVP award?

      Screw the MLS MVP, he should win the balon d'or. Who really cares about Vini or Jude? No one puts up stats like Messi. No one can score free kicks like he can. Hes the 🐐 and will continue to be until he stops playing. Dark days will be ahead when he stops playing. Enjoy him while hes here!
