Major League Soccer’s Golden Boot and Most Valuable Player awards could be Lionel Messi’s after the final day of the 2025 regular season on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Messi scored a hat trick with an assist in a 5-2 win against Nashville SC at Geodis Park for his second career MLS hat trick, and the 61st of his legendary career.

Inter Miami will be the No. 3 seed in the MLS Eastern Conference when the MLS Cup playoffs begin on Oct. 24. They are expected to meet No. 6-seed Nashville again in a best-of-three series, beginning Friday at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

‘Well, what can I say about Leo? The truth is that he was exceptional today, as he usually is,’ Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the win.

‘Clearly, I think that if anyone had any doubts about his regular season, he has dispelled them. He will surely be awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Season award for everything he has shown, not to mention the three goals he has scored. I’m happy for him because he has helped us win the game again.’

One day after Shohei Ohtani had one of the best games in MLB history in Los Angeles, Messi reminded fans around the world why he’s considered the GOAT on the pitch. The Argentine World Cup champion and eight-time Ballon d’Or winner extended a personal streak of 18 consecutive seasons with a hat trick for club or country in all competitions.

“He’s brought so much attention to soccer in this country – it’s unreal,” Inter Miami’s Ian Fray said of Messi, speaking with Apple TV after the match. ‘No other player in the world could have this impact in this country. It’s crazy.’

“We take for granted what he does for 20-plus years,” Apple TV analyst Taylor Twellman said of Messi before the final whistle.

Messi scored in the 34th minute, firing his legendary left boot outside of the box to help Inter Miami take a 1-0 lead on the road against Nashville SC. Jordi Alba was credited with the assist.

Messi scored a penalty kick – surprisingly, his first penalty score in MLS play this year – to tie it at 2 in the 63rd minute.

He scored again in the 81st minute, marking his 29th goal of the 2025 MLS season, to make it 4-2. He then assisted Telasco Segovia’s goal just before the final whistle, to mark his 48th total goal contribution this season, to make it 5-2.

Messi finished his 2025 MLS regular season with 29 goals and 19 assists in 28 games. Carlos Vela set the single-season record of 49 goal contributions with LAFC in 2019.

Nashville’s Sam Surridge finished with 24 goals, while LAFC’s Denis Bouanga is five goals away from Messi heading into his match on Saturday night.

“I think there’s no doubt about it,” Mascherano said about Messi’s MVP case before the game. “I think that measuring Leo solely by the statistics – which we could do, and he is the best – I think he goes beyond the statistics. It’s what he shows on the court, the importance he has within the team and what he does to entertain everyone who has the chance to see him.”

Messi hat trick stats

It’s the second hat trick in Messi’s MLS career, and his 61st overall. Only Cristiano Ronaldo has more among all active players with 66 hat tricks all-time from 2008-2024.

Messi has at least one hat trick in 18 consecutive seasons. He also scored a second-half hat trick in a friendly against Dundee United in 2008. Here’s video of that.

Messi’s hat trick against Nashville follows his performance off the bench against the New England Revolution on Oct. 19, 2024, three days after his 10th international hat trick for Argentina in a World Cup qualifier against Boliva on Oct. 16, 2024. Yeah, two in one week.

“I’m lucky because I enjoy Leo closer than you. You enjoy him from TV or the stands. It’s about that. The rest I think is part of the history, no?” Mascherano said of Messi after Saturday’s game.

“Leo is obviously the best player that has played this sport. He continues showing that. And I’m very pleased with him because today he was amazing, and he helped us win the game.”

Messi leads MLS with 26 goals, followed by LAFC’s Denis Bouanga with 24 and Nashville’s Sam Surridge with 23. Messi also has 18 assists, tied with San Diego’s Andres Dreyer for the league high.

Messi’s 44 total goal contributions lead MLS, and are five shy of Carlos Vela’s single-season record of 49 with LAFC in 2019. Messi is joined by Dreyer, Bouanga, Cincinnati’s Evander and Surridge in the 2025 MVP race.

MLS playoff picture will be settled on Decision Day

Inter Miami could improve to second place in the MLS Eastern Conference with a victory, but would need Cincinnati to falter at home against Montreal to move up in the standings. Cincinnati and Inter Miami are tied with 62 points in the East, but Cincinnati has the tiebreaking edge in the win column (19 vs. 18).

The Philadelphia Union (66 points) have already won the MLS Supporters’ Shield, the regular-season title that Inter Miami won last season.

Inter Miami already has secured home-field advantage for at least the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs.

Nashville, which won the U.S. Open Cup on Oct. 1, enters the match in sixth place with 54 points.

MLS Cup playoffs calendar

Messi and Inter Miami already clinched a berth in the MLS Cup playoffs. Here are key playoff dates to know:

Oct. 22: Wild-card matches (single-elimination matches)
Oct. 24-Nov. 9: Round 1 (best-of-three series)
Nov. 22-23: Conference semifinals (single-elimination matches)
Nov. 29-30: Conference finals (single-elimination matches)
Dec. 6: MLS Cup (single winner-take-all match)

The Green Bay Packers head west this week for a key NFC matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

If a five-hour delay to their plane departure wasn’t enough, the Packers may have to take on the Cardinals without one of their best players on Sunday.

Running back Josh Jacobs is questionable to play Week 7 against Arizona because of an illness and calf injury, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Green Bay’s leading rusher hasn’t missed a game for the Packers since signing with the team ahead of last season.

The three-time Pro Bowler ranks 10th in the NFL this season with 71.8 rushing yards per game. He’s on track for his second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season with Green Bay as the leader of the team’s No. 12-ranked rushing offense.

Jacobs was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant on Friday.

If Jacobs is unable to play, the Packers will rely on their backups against the Cardinals’ 13th-ranked run defense. Emanuel Wilson is the next rusher up on the depth chart. He has 18 carries for 84 yards in five games this season with four catches for 33 yards in the passing game.

Sunday is the first of back-to-back road games for Green Bay. The Packers will head across the country again in Week 8 to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers and former Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers on ‘Sunday Night Football.’

Packers RB depth chart

Josh Jacobs (questionable)
Emanuel Wilson
Chris Brooks
Pierre Strong Jr. (practice squad)

Brooks has played in two games this season as more of a receiving back. He’s tallied five catches for 30 yards in the passing game to go along with 2 yards on two carries on the ground.

Strong signed with the Packers after spending the 2025 offseason with the Cleveland Browns.

In a 2025 college football season without a clear Heisman Trophy front-runner, it’s quite possible that the sport’s most exciting player could end up lifting its most coveted piece of hardware in December.

At least he seems to think so.

After scampering for a 21-yard touchdown run to give his team a 31-21 lead over LSU late in the third quarter on Saturday, Oct. 18, and after sharing some hugs with his teammates and Army ROTC members near the end zone, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia struck the Heisman Trophy pose.

Pavia has plenty of reasons to think he has a case for college football’s most storied individual honor.

Entering Saturday’s game against LSU, Pavia had thrown for 1,409 yards, 14 touchdowns and four interceptions, along with 352 rushing yards (a team high) and two touchdowns, for a Commodores team that was 5-1 and ranked No. 18 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. 

Beyond his impressive numbers, the New Mexico State transfer has regularly produced electrifying plays over the past two years, using his fearless, free-wheeling style to help lift up a historically hapless Vanderbilt program to a 12-7 record since the start of the 2024 season.

Pavia’s one of a handful of quarterbacks who were among the favorites for the Heisman entering Week 8, a group that also included, among others, Alabama’s Ty Simpson, Miami’s Carson Beck, Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Oregon’s Dante Moore.

Diego Pavia stats

In Vanderbilt’s 31-24 win, Pavia completed 14 of 22 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. Where Pavia really made a difference, however, was on the ground. The QB rushed for 86 yards on 17 carries and a pair of touchdowns, with him striking the Heisman pose after his second one.

All things told, Pavia accounted for 246 of Vanderbilt’s 399 yards, further bolstering his Heisman case.

After a nearly five-hour delay, the Green Bay Packers are on their way west to Phoenix for their Week 7 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The NFC North-leading Packers were scheduled to depart for Arizona at 1:30 p.m. CT ahead of their game Sunday at State Farm Stadium. That didn’t happen as planned.

Green Bay’s team plane had mechanical issues, per multiple reports. The team wasn’t in the air until nearly 6:30 p.m. CT and on a new plane that was brought from Detroit to Green Bay.

This was the second plane headed to Phoenix for the team’s game against the Cardinals. The first one was made up of team staff members and departed as scheduled.

It’ll be a quick turnaround for the Packers once they reach their destination. They’re set to arrive at 8:32 p.m. local time Saturday night per ESPN with kickoff slated for 1:25 p.m. in Glendale, Arizona.

The team has not released a statement explaining the reason for the delay.

And when he objected to an opponent getting away with a cross-check, he took matters into his own hands – with a little flourish.

During the second period of the Panthers-Sabres game on Saturday, Oct. 18, Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin cross-checked Marchand. Unhappy with that, Marchand jumped Dahlin a few seconds later and started throwing punches while the defenseman was on the ice.

But Marchand wasn’t done, He had Dahlin’s helmet in his hand as he got up and took it with him to the penalty box as an on-ice official led him there. Marchand ripped the straps off the helmet before tossing it back onto the ice. He threw the straps against the glass in the penalty box.

‘He’s a competitor,’ Dahlin said about Marchand after the game. ‘I’ve probably done something like that in the past, too. Stuff happens out there.’

When all was settled, Marchand received two minutes for interference and two minutes for roughing against Dahlin. Buffalo’s Tage Thompson got two minutes for roughing Marchand, giving the Sabres a power play.

Teammate Peyton Krebs lent Dahlin his helmet so the defenseman could play on the power play.

Josh Doan scored 32 seconds into the power play to give the Sabres a 2-0 lead.

The banged-up two-time defending Stanley Cup champions lost 3-0, their fourth in a row to drop them to 3-4-0 this season.

Adding to the Panthers’ injury woes, defenseman Niko Mikkola left the game with an upper body injury after a collision and didn’t return. Coach Paul Maurice said he’d have a better idea on Mikkola’s status on Monday.

Florida’s next game is Tuesday in Boston, where Marchand played for 17 seasons before being moved to the Panthers at the trade deadline and leading the team to a second consecutive Stanley Cup title.

Washington tight end Quentin Moore was carted off the field in the second quarter of his team’s game at Michigan on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Moore suffered an injury while blocking Wolverines edge rusher Nate Marshall on a Huskies punt that pinned Michigan at its own 7-yard line. 

Shortly after Marshall made contact, Moore fell to the turf, where he remained face down until team medical personnel rushed out to tend to him. After being examined, he was placed on a stabilizing board and carted off the field at Michigan Stadium, with many of his teammates gathered around him.

Moore’s injury delayed the game by nearly 10 minutes.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Moore is in his fifth season with the Washington program. He has appeared in every game this season for the Huskies and has three catches for 35 yards. Much of that production came in an Oct. 10 victory against Rutgers, a game in which he has two receptions for 25 yards.
