Lionel Messi has secured his second MLS Golden Boot award as Inter Miami CF clinched home-field advantage for at least the first two rounds of the postseason. Meanwhile, Nashville SC set a new league points record during the regular season.
The Argentine forward's latest accolade comes after a prolific campaign, adding to his first Golden Boot won in the previous season. Inter Miami's strong finish ensures they will host playoff matches at Chase Stadium.
Nashville's record-breaking points total highlights their consistency throughout the season, though they will enter the playoffs as a road team in the opening round.
