The Inter Miami's star Lionel Messi has been crowned the MLS Player of the Month for April, marking another milestone in his illustrious career.

As per ESPN, Messi's impact on the field was undeniable as Inter Miami secured three wins and a draw during the month.

Despite missing four games due to a hamstring issue, the Argentine maestro wasted no time upon his return on April 6, immediately making his mark with six goals and four assists in just four matches.

Furthermore, his stellar performances have firmly positioned him as a frontrunner for the coveted title of 2024 MLS MVP.

Meanwhile, Inter Miami coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino expressed his confidence in Messi's abilities, stating, "Messi can move everywhere on the pitch, he is the best footballer in the world and a great goalscorer.

He further added, "We are no longer playing so often so that is why Messi is recovering his form."

Currently on a four-game unbeaten run, Inter Miami sits atop the Eastern Conference table with 21 points from 11 games.
