Lionel Messi GOAT award

After winning the 'GOAT' award, Lionel Messi, a star for Inter Miami, says he feeling "unstoppable" as well as is "hungry" to take home more trophies. Labeled the 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT) accolade on social media, the 37-year-old received the Marca's America accolade on Thursday from Spanish daily Marca. 

The Argentine international talked about how fantastic he feels personally and that he remains intent with lifting trophies after winning his award. Messi addressed the attendees of the ceremony after accepting the trophy.

The former FC Barcelona star said, "I am still hungry for titles even though I am a bit older and my family keeps growing. I feel their support so I am unstoppable. I love playing football and everything it gives me. I have had really bad times with Argentina before achieving what we have done by today but, I think it helped us a lot to become what we are today."

Messi is still going strong and is perhaps the best player to have ever played the game. He has motivated millions to pursue the sport and doesn't appear to be prepared to retire just yet, on top of the truckload of trophies as well as individual honors.

When Inter Miami hosts the New England Revolution for a Major League Soccer match on Saturday, Messi may make his comeback to the pitch. New England is in second last place in the Eastern Conference, while Inter Miami is at the top.

“What's left for me in football?” : Lionel Messi
