For a second-straight month, Messi has led Flashscore's rating systems, notching an average of 8.5 across his four games played in that time frame.
Leading from the front
The world's most decorated player may be nearing the end of his career, but at 38, he is still shaping his team's fortunes. Inter Miami are chasing their first MLS Cup crown, and the Argentinian has been at the forefront of their run through the playoffs, culminating in Saturday's final against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Across November, he netted in all but one game, scoring four in the playoffs, whilst once against Angola for Argentina in a friendly.
As is customary across his glittering career, he has also been teeing up his teammates. The number of assists outdoes the goals tally, with seven in just five games.
This helped his side beat Nashville in the first round after four games, before they convincingly beat FC Cincinnati 4-0. That set up a conference final against New York City, where Messi was more subdued, getting a 7.4 rating as his side comfortably won 5-1.
Inter Miami aren't always a one-man team, but when that man is as good as their star, it can't hurt.
Across the month, Messi racked up two perfect match ratings of 10, and it wouldn't shock anyone if he gets the same score on Saturday in the final.
Most Valuable Player
In a career that features every big accolade, the league's MVP title is not one that will sit front and centre on the mantlepiece of the Messi household.
But an MLS Cup may have more prominence. After winning the Supporters' Shield last year - the award given to the best team in the regular season - this is the trophy the club have been chasing since their inception in 2018.
It will vindicate his switch to the US in 2023 and finally put to bed any suggestion that this isn't the best team in the country.
Messi has been the poster boy of this franchise. His record of more than a goal every game underlines how important he has been to Miami, and despite being the player to target for every opposing team, no one has been able to stop him.
He won the MVP award last season, and he is the odds-on favourite to do the same in 2025. It will be a cherry on top of one of his most influential seasons to date.
What's next?
Messi's club career is set to continue in Miami well into his 40s. Back in October, he signed a new three-year deal, seeing him stay in Florida until 2028, ushering in their new stadium, which is set to be in use from April onwards.
That will take him through until his 41st year, and will also allow him to take part in next year's World Cup on familiar territory.
This is likely to be his last international tournament, and after winning it all four years ago, he could cement his legacy even further if Argentina go back-to-back.
Granted, some of his athletic capabilities have waned over the years, but his footballing brain, as seen by his two straight player of the month awards, is not diminishing whatsoever.
The World Cup will be his next big objective, and it is likely Inter Miami will give him the time and space to prepare for it. MLS will pause from May 25th, giving him two-and-a-half weeks to recover. But the money will be on him having a limited presence for Miami heading into the tournament.
For now, though, glory awaits this weekend as they take on the Vancouver Whitecaps from 20:30 CET on Saturday for the MLS Cup.
A victory for Messi will be another trophy in the cabinet, and given his form over the last two months, his influence will be expected to bring it home.
