Messi has another team trophy to hoist, which would mean another parade for Fort Lauderdale to plan along the beach after the Florida Panthers set the bar in June.

Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi added another award to his collection on Thursday. Messi became the first recipient of the MARCA America Award, presented by the Spain-based media company.

Messi scored three goals and provided two assists in Argentina's 6-0 thrashing of Bolivia on Tuesday, setting up what was expected to be a triumphant return to his club, Inter Miami CF, with the MLS Playoffs starting Oct. 25. Instead, the 37-year-old cast a dark cloud over his future in his post-match interview.
