Lionel Messi scored his 100th goal for Inter Miami in the Campeones Cup final, claiming victory over Cruz Azul with a 2-0 win. The Argentine star opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a header from Luis Suarez's cross, bringing his tally to 100 goals in 115 appearances for the Miami club. Casemiro, who joined Inter Miami from Manchester United this summer, added the second goal in the 81st minute, heading in Messi's corner.
The Brazilian midfielder has scored four goals in his last five matches. The win marked Inter Miami's third trophy in three years, following their Leagues Cup triumph in 2023, Supporters' Shield in 2024, and MLS Cup in 2025. This was Messi's eighth edition of the Campeones Cup, with Mexican teams winning the three most recent editions before Miami's victory.
Cruz Azul, Mexico's giants, have yet to win the Campeones Cup, and they lost the 2021 final. Messi's 100th goal for Inter Miami came during the eighth edition of the tournament, which is always hosted by the MLS club.
