In the early morning of December 7 (Vietnam time), Inter Miami officially made history when they defeated Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the final to win the MLS Cup for the first time. After the historic victory, superstar Lionel Messi could not hide his emotions, sharing his extreme happiness.
Since arriving in the United States, Messi has transformed Inter Miami from a mid-table team into a non-European national champion. Speaking with a choked voice, the Argentina captain expressed:
"It's really an indescribable happiness. This has been one of the biggest goals since we arrived here. As soon as I arrived, I won the Leagues Cup. This year the team had a great season, competing in all the tournaments they participated in."
Winning the MLS championship is said by Messi to be the ultimate goal of Inter Miami this season. With the prestigious MLS Cup trophy, the team of former player David Beckham completed the first 3 years of the journey with great success and consecutive titles.
For Messi personally, the MLS Cup trophy he just won is his third official title with Inter Miami, after the 2024 Supporters' Shield and the 2023 League Cup.
In addition, this is the 48th time Messi has lifted the title in his professional career. With this record number, the Argentine star continues to consolidate his position as the player with the most trophies in football history, far surpassing his former teammate Dani Alves (43 times).
The victory not only brought Messi his first national title outside of Europe, but also showed that his influence and greatness remain intact even in the final stages of his career.
