Inter Miami have won the club’s first MLS Cup, beating the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 on Saturday at Chase Stadium, with the winner coming on a Rodrigo De Paul goal in the 71st minute.

Messi has scored 13 goals in 26 World Cup appearances. He has the most goal contributions and most minutes played in World Cup history. During the 2022 World Cup, he scored seven goals and provided three assists en route to lifting the crown for the third time in Argentina’s history.

Lionel Messi had a goal and three assists and Tadeo Allende scored twice as Inter Miami beat FC Cincinnati 4-0 Sunday to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

"I'm very happy for him," first-year Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said. "I'm very happy because of the season that he played. ... For him it was very, very special and very important to win this trophy. He came here to win this trophy."

Kylian Mbappé is the latest player to score four goals in a Champions League match, joining the likes of Messi, Real Madrid predecessor Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski.

Anders Dreyer, the only MLS star close to Lionel Messi's stats, could leave the league after a record season, with Europe as a possible destination.

Kylian Mbappe breaks Cristiano Ronaldo’s calendar-year goal record. He now chases Messi’s 91-goal feat as Real Madrid gears up for four final matches.
