Lionel Messi ended the 2025 MLS Cup season in the most impressive way. With a classy performance and outstanding influence on Inter Miami's play, the Argentine superstar was named the 2025 MLS Cup Most Valuable Player (MVP).
In the final against Vancouver Whitecaps, Messi did not directly score but played a central role in every attack. He assisted two goals, contributing significantly to the 3-1 victory, thereby helping Inter Miami win the MLS Cup for the first time.
El Pulga's explosive performance in the play-off series surprised experts: 6 goals and 9 assists, setting a record for the number of times he participated in scoring goals in a play-off season.
The win over Vancouver also marked a special milestone as Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and Sergio Busquets became the first World Cup champions to win the MLS Cup. This is also Lionel Messi's third title with Inter Miami after the 2023 Leagues Cup and 2024 Supporters' Shield.
This achievement helps Messi increase the total number of titles in his career to 48, continuing to consolidate his position as the most successful player in football history. Specifically, he has 6 titles with the Argentina national team, 35 with Barca, 3 with PSG and 4 with Inter Miami. It should be added that the reason some sources still count Messi as having only 47 titles is because FIFA does not count Inter Miami's Eastern championship a few days ago.
Not only reaping collective glory, Messi also owns the 2025 MLS Golden Boot with 29 goals and 19 assists, and is ready to become the first player in history to win the Landon Donovan MVP title two years in a row.
At the age of 38, but still playing refined and decisive football, Messi continues to consolidate his position as a living legend, ready to open a new journey of conquest with Inter Miami next season.
