Going into the MLS Cup final, Messi was closely monitored by Vancouver, who sent at least two players to monitor him during each play. However, the 8-time Ballon d'Or winner was still able to shine brightly with two assists, making an important contribution to Inter Miami's victory.
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. Thereby demonstrating the influence and greatness of the 38-year-old superstar is still intact even in the final stage of his career.
Before Messi came to the US, Inter Miami was just a mid-level team and had no mark in the US professional league. Everything changed when Messi arrived at Inter Miami, the team of owner David Beckham continuously reaped success and became the champion of MLS Cup 2025.
After statistics, ESPN said Lionel Messi is the player who has won the most titles in football history. The Argentine superstar has gone beyond football, occupying an important position in ESPN's list of the greatest athletes of the 21st century.
In fact, whether at club or national team level, the 38-year-old striker has always left a special mark. The statistics on titles have shown the great influence of the Argentine superstar.
During his peak at Barca, Messi helped the Catalan team win 10 La Liga championships, 7 King's Cups and most notably 4 Champions Leagues... When he moved to PSG, Messi contributed 2 Ligue 1 championships and 1 French Super Cup.
As for the national team, Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, won two Copa America titles and the Finalissima trophy. Most notably, the 2022 World Cup, where Messi showed his best qualities.
When it comes to individual accolades, Messi seems to be unbeatable in this field with 8 European Golden Balls, 6 Golden Boots and 8 FIFA The Best awards. Messi has also broken a series of other individual disciplines, most notably the record of scoring 91 goals in a calendar year (2012).
In the final stage of his career, the Argentine superstar seems to have left his great rival - Cristiano Ronaldo far behind. The Portuguese legend is struggling in his journey to find new titles with the Al Nassr Club.
Despite his current form, Lionel Messi has not officially confirmed that he will join the Argentina team in the 2026 World Cup because he is worried that he will become a burden to his teammates. He will decide whether to participate in the 2026 World Cup or not in the near future.
