After winning his second Laureus award, FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal hailed Lionel Messi among the greatest athletes in history. Lamine Yamal‘s performances at the earliest stages of his professional career continue to capture the attention of the sporting world and its most prestigious award ceremonies. Now a two-time Laureus Award winner, the 18-year-old Barcelona star used the occasion to place Lionel Messi among the greatest athletes in the history of sport. The Laureus World Sports Awards, which honor individuals and teams across a wide range of disciplines, held its 2026 edition with Yamal once again among the most prominent names on the night. This time, he was recognized with the Laureus World Young Sportsperson of the Year Award, presented by the Laureus Academy. “I am very happy to be the first to receive this award for best young athlete. It is a source of pride,” Yamal said upon collecting the trophy, taking a moment to thank the Academy, the legends who voted for him, and his family and inner circle. He then turned his attention to the only soccer figure to have claimed the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award. “When you realize an athlete isn’t just a legend of their sport but of all sports — Messi, who for me is the best player in history, and if he isn’t the greatest athlete ever, he’s definitely in that conversation with all of them,” Yamal said. The Argentine icon first claimed the World Sportsman of the Year in 2020, sharing the honor with Lewis Hamilton, before claiming it again in 2023 following Argentina’s World Cup triumph. Barcelona Player, Lamine Yamal poses with the Laureus World Young Sportsperson of the Year Award. Yamal also spoke to Messi’s status as a figure who transcends soccer altogether. “He’s more than an idol. I think everyone respects him for everything he’s done. He’s been part of the childhood of every kid when we played in the park or at school, and I hope I’ll be able to follow in his footsteps,” the teenager said. Yamal’s second Laureus Award After helping Barcelona claim La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey in 2025 while playing a pivotal role in the club’s UEFA Champions League run, Lamine Yamal earned another nod from the Laureus Academy. It was not his first time on that stage, however, as the Spanish teenager had already made history at the ceremony the year prior. For his starring role in leading Spain to victory at Euro 2024, Yamal was named Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year, an award that reflected the immediacy and magnitude of his impact on soccer and the broader sporting landscape. Since the award’s first edition in 2000, only Jude Bellingham had previously claimed it as a soccer player, in 2024, with Yamal following in his footsteps just one year later. With two Laureus Awards now in his collection, Yamal closed with a forward-looking message about what the recognition means to him. “I am grateful that my contributions to our team in 2025 are being recognized with this Laureus. I believe that sport has the power to change the world. This statuette represents a new generation of athletes who can bring about that change. I am proud to be the first to receive this Laureus,” he concluded.

After his performance against the Colorado Rapids, Inter Miami star Lionel Messi claimed the 14th MLS Player of the Matchday honor in his career, moving second in the scoreboard with only Landon Donovan at the top. Lionel Messi has made a habit of rewriting the record books since arriving in Major League Soccer, and his latest performance for Inter Miami added another milestone to an already remarkable list. With his 14th Player of the Matchday honor now in hand, Messi sits second on the all-time list, trailing only league legend Landon Donovan. Inter Miami traveled to Empower Field at Mile High last Saturday, where the Colorado Rapids celebrated their 30th anniversary in front of a record-breaking MLS crowd. Messi opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 18th minute, but the Rapids fought back to level the game twice, before the Argentine settled the contest in the 79th minute by cutting inside from the right and firing home to complete his brace and seal a 3-2 victory for the Herons. Following that standout display, Messi was named MLS Player of the Matchday for the 14th time in his career, while also earning a place in the Team of the Matchday. It marked the second time this season he has claimed the honor, having previously won it on Matchday 2 after another brace, that one against Orlando City. No player has come close to matching Messi’s rate of recognition since his arrival in the league. His 14 Player of the Matchday awards have come across just 60 MLS appearances, meaning he has claimed the honor in nearly a quarter of every eligible game he has played since joining Inter Miami.

Those 14 recognitions place Messi in a tie for second on the all-time list alongside Columbus Crew legend Jeff Cunningham, with only Landon Donovan ahead of them, having claimed the honor a record 19 times. Could Messi surpass Donovan in 2026? While Cunningham and Donovan each spent more than a decade in MLS, Messi has matched Cunningham’s career total in fewer than three seasons, a testament to the extraordinary consistency he has brought to the league. With 14 awards to his name, the question now is whether the Argentine can chase down Donovan’s record of 19 before the 2026 season is out. The numbers suggest it is far from out of reach. Since his first full MLS season in 2024, Messi has claimed six Player of the Matchday awards in back-to-back campaigns, finishing 2025 with 12 total and becoming the first player in league history to achieve that feat in consecutive seasons. It is also worth noting that the most games Messi has played in a single MLS regular season was 28, in the 2025 campaign. With the league running through Matchday 36 and Messi currently averaging roughly two honors every four games, picking up five more before the season closes is a realistic, if demanding, target, and one that would rewrite yet another chapter of MLS history.
