On December 16, FIFA presented The Best award, recognizing Ousmane Dembele of France and Paris Saint-Germain as the top player globally. He has now achieved a record only achieved previously by Lionel Messi.

In a statement naming the PSG manager as the best coach of 2025, FIFA outlined his achievements across the season. It read: "Luis Enrique has been voted The Best FIFA Men’s Coach 2025 after masterminding a history-making campaign for Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi has capped off one of the most successful seasons in league history and been rewarded with another MVP award. No player has ever won the award in consecutive years, while Preki is the only player to win the award twice.

Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi becomes the first player in MLS history to win back-to-back Most Valuable Player awards.

The accolades keep rolling in for Lionel Messi, who has won his second straight MLS MVP award after leading Inter Miami to the 2025 MLS Cup.
