Lionel Messi seals his first-ever MLS Golden Boot after coming out on top to beat Surridge and Bouanga in a competitive Golden Boot race. Messi’s hat-trick against Nashville SC this past weekend helped seal the deal as he helped Inter Miami climb back up from a goal down. Inter Miami will now turn its focus towards the MLS Playoffs, in which it will take on Nashville in a best-of-three series.
Lionel Messi may have clinched the Golden Boot, but there is still plenty of work to be done as Inter Miami face a challenging three-match series against Nashville SC. The side from Tennessee has proven to be a challenging side over the past few seasons for Inter Miami. Moreover, considering their painful defeat this weekend, they will be eager to get revenge on Maschereno’s side. Having Messi and Suarez firing on all cylinders will be crucial for Miami’s chances of getting over the line.
