Lionel Messi joins Denis Bouanga in elite MLS club

Lionel Messi has joined Denis Bouanga in the elite company of MLS players with 20 or more goals in three straight seasons. The Argentine superstar scored his 20th goal of the season during Inter Miami CF's 2-2 draw with San Diego FC. This remarkable feat is a testament to Messi's continued dominance in North American soccer.

With eight regular-season games left, Messi has an opportunity to become the first three-time Landon Donovan MLS MVP award winner.
