The Colombian forward has been nominated for the prestigious Landon Donovan MVP award, a feat previously achieved by Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama in 1996.

Hernández, who has been a standout performer for the Crew this season, has consistently impressed fans and critics alike with his goal-scoring abilities. His two-goal performance in the Leagues Cup final cemented his status as one of the league's most formidable attackers. This stellar form has earned him a place among the finalists for the league's most coveted individual honor.

Colombian Striker Among Finalists for MLS MVP Award

The competition for the Landon Donovan MVP award is fierce this year, with Hernández facing stiff competition from the likes of Belgian striker Christian Benteke, Brazilian playmaker Evander, and South American superstars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez. Despite the strong field, Hernández's impressive performances and growing popularity have made him a serious contender for the title.

If Hernández were to win the award, he would join an exclusive club of players who have left their mark on Major League Soccer. Valderrama, who won the award in 1996 while playing for the Tampa Bay Mutiny, is the only other Colombian to have achieved this honor. A victory for Hernández would not only solidify his status as one of the league's top players but would also serve as a testament to the growing influence of Colombian talent in MLS.

As the MLS season draws to a close, all eyes will be on Hernández and the other finalists as they vie for the Landon Donovan MVP award. Regardless of the outcome, Hernández's nomination is a significant achievement and a testament to his hard work and dedication.
