#InterMiami #Messi #CampeonesCup
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami took on Cruz Azul in the 2026 Campeones Cup final at Nu Stadium in Miami, with new head coach Kily González making his debut and the Liga MX side hoping to keep the trophy in Mexico. Dayne St. Clair denied José Paradela early, Luis Suárez appealed for a penalty, and he later chipped the Cruz Azul goalkeeper only for Willer Ditta to clear off the line. Then Messi found the breakthrough. In the 24th minute he rose to meet a Suárez cross and headed Inter Miami in front, scoring his 100th goal for the club and becoming the first Inter Miami player to reach the mark. St. Clair also kept out Agustín Palavecino before the break.

Inter Miami won the Campeones Cup 2-0 thanks to Messi’s historic header and Casemiro’s 81st-minute goal. Messi had a second goal ruled out for offside in the second half, and Cruz Azul, who outshot Miami 18 to 7, hit the post through a Gabriel Fernández header in the 67th minute, with Casemiro blocking the follow-up. Then Messi swung in a corner and Casemiro rose to head home and make it 2-0. The result levelled the all-time Campeones Cup series against Liga MX at four wins each, gave Inter Miami the fifth title in club history and earned Messi Player of the Match honours.
