MLS Top Goal Scorer 2024: Messi Chasing Golden Boot in Debut Season

The 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) season is heating up and all eyes are on Lionel Messi as he aims for the prestigious Golden Boot award.

The honour goes to the league’s top scorer with assists serving as the tiebreaker if players are tied on goals. This year Messi is making a significant impact in his first full season, with Inter Miami dazzling fans and breaking records along the way.

In a memorable 6-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls in May, Messi set new MLS records for the most goal contributions in a single game, with six and most assists in a game, with five.

His creative brilliance is also boosting his teammate Luis Suarez, who is also among the top scorers this season.

As Messi navigates the challenges of the demanding MLS season, the competition for the Golden Boot remains wide open.
