Lionel Messi scored a header and provided an assist as Inter Miami beat Cruz Azul 2-0 to win their first Campeones Cup. The match was the annual clash between Major League Soccer and Mexican Liga MX champions. According to Free Malaysia Today, Messi's goal was his 100th for Inter Miami.
The second goal was scored by Casemiro, who headed home a late Messi corner. The win marked Messi's first trophy of the year, two months after Argentina lost the 2026 World Cup final to Spain.
Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham and teammate Casemiro praised Messi's performance, with Beckham saying he deserved to be considered for a record-extending ninth Ballon d'Or and Casemiro describing Messi as "incredible" and "the best".
