The Inter Miami skipper is the favorite to win the 2025 MLS Golden Boot

The 2025 Major League Soccer season will be of huge importance as the focus of the footballing world turns to the United States of America for the next couple of years. The build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be held across North America would be spanned across the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the 2025 and 2026 MLS seasons, along with the pre-tournament friendlies.

Fans in the USA will be treated to a different gravy of football over the next couple of years as the footballing standards increase across the country, and so will the expectations of the die-hard supporters or even the newer supporters who have started following soccer recently. The craze and fandom around Messi always demand top football, and that is exactly what the Argentine superstar has been delivering for the last 17 years.

The former Barcelona superstar is the favorite to win the 2025 MLS Golden Boot, while the 2024 MLS Golden Boot winner Christian Benteke is the second-favorite behind the Argentine sensation. Last season, the former Crystal Palace striker scored 23 goals, helping DC United fight for a place in the playoffs till the very end of the 2024 league season.
