Lionel Messi suffered another tough defeat in a final, this time in the 2025 Leagues Cup, as Seattle Sounders thrashed Inter Miami 3-0 at a packed Lumen Field. One day after the loss, the Argentine superstar broke his silence and issued an important message to the Herons ahead of the rest of the season.
Inter Miami entered Sunday’s final hoping to claim their first trophy of 2025 and the third in club history. However, the game didn’t go as planned. Messi and Tadeo Allende missed several clear chances, while Seattle proved more clinical and efficient, ultimately securing the victory. The match also included an incident involving Luis Suarez and a member of the staff, adding tension to the final minutes.
Messi refrained from speaking to the media after the game, but on Monday he shared a message on social media. “We competed all the way to the final, but this time it didn’t happen for us… We’ll take the positives and keep learning as we work toward our goals for this season.” the Argentine wrote.
Alongside teammate Rodrigo De Paul, Messi has now returned to Argentina for international duty in the final CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador. Despite the disappointment in Seattle, the Argentine legend remains optimistic about finishing 2025 strongly with Inter Miami.
