Inter Miami wins Campeones Cup as Messi scores 100th goal

Inter Miami secured the Campeones Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Cruz Azul. The match was highlighted by Lionel Messi, who scored his 100th goal for the club with a header in the 24th minute following an assist from Luis Suárez. Messi also provided the assist for Casemiro, who scored the second goal in the 81st minute via a corner kick.

The victory marks the first trophy of the season for Inter Miami and the fourth title for Messi since joining the club in 2023. It also served as a successful debut for new head coach Cristian ‘Kily’ González. Following the match, Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham expressed his support for Messi, suggesting the player deserves consideration for the Ballon d’Or.

Despite the celebration, reports noted a moment of tension between Messi and MLS Commissioner Don Garber during the trophy presentation. Additionally, the win comes as Messi prepares for his upcoming international retirement from the Argentine national team, scheduled for October 6.
