Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi has recently been honored with the prestigious MARCA America Award, widely regarded as the 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT) award on social media.

The Argentine international has continued to prove doubters wrong as he has continued to grow and establish himself as one of the most important and influential athletes despite his age.
The 2022 World Cup winner officially joins Miami after leaving French champions Paris Saint-Germain following two seasons at the club, and since moving, he's already Inter Miami's third-highest scorer. Meanwhile, the 39-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract, helped Inter Miami beat the defending Major League Soccer champion by scoring a brace against the Columbus Crew 3-2 to clinch the Supporters' Shield.
"I am still hungry for titles even though I am a bit older and my family keeps growing. I feel their support so I am unstoppable. I love playing football and everything it gives me. I have had really bad times with Argentina before achieving what we have done by today but, I think it helped us a lot to become what we are today."
Messi is arguably considered the greatest player of all time, considering his loaded club and individual trophy cabinets, as the Argentine has won eight Ballon d'Or awards, three FIFA Best Men's Player awards, four UEFA Champions League titles, two Copa Americas, a FIFA World Cup, and numerous individual trophies.
Messi will now return to club duty with Inter Miami on Saturday as Miami hosts New England Revolution in this Major League Soccer playoff clash.
