Miami's Lionel Messi was named Men’s Player of the Year award during "The Best FIFA Football Awards" show in London on Monday.

The 36-year-old led Inter Miami to a Leagues Cup title and single-handedly brought prestige and elevated soccer’s relevance in the U.S.

This is the eighth time in 15 years Messi has won the title including last year, after leading Argentina to the 2022 World Cup title.

Messi was not at the ceremony in London, instead he was in Miami preparing for Inter Miami's worldwide preseason tour, which begins in El Salvador on Friday.
