Hyde: Messi’s career didn’t need this title — but he showed how much it meant to him
FORT LAUDERDALE — The final act, the one everyone came to see, had Lionel Messi carrying the trophy over to his Inter Miami teammates late Saturday afternoon. This is how he’s done it everywhere he’s been, the captain and a trophy, and now he did at Chase Stadium.
“Mes-si!” the crowd chanted.
The trophy looked nearly as big as Messi as he walked on the makeshift stage amid his teammates. But there, in that moment, as he held the Major League Soccer championship trophy aloft, as confetti dropped and fireworks flew, Messi didn’t look like the league’s marketing machine or the world’s most recognizable athlete.
He just looked like a star happy to win again. His smile said that much, as did his hugs with teammates and that laugh he carried all over the field for the next hour as family and friends joined in the celebration.
“This is the moment I had been waiting for, and that we, as a team, were waiting for,” Messi said after the 3-1 win against Vancouver. “It’s very beautiful for all of us. They deserved it.”
It didn’t matter if this wasn’t anything close to the biggest of his career. It mattered that he’d won again — that he wanted to win like this here. It mattered more to Inter Miami, sure, because this was the team’s first title and it confirmed all the attention of the past couple of years.
This was a MLS dream matchup, Messi against Vancouver’s Tomas Müller, the German star coming to North America for his final chapter just as Messi has to South Florida.
“They said soccer would never make it in America,’’ MLS commissioner Don Garber said during the trophy ceremony. “Inter Miami fans, has soccer made it?”
Messi’s toeprints were all over this game. He got the opening goal started at midfield by passing to a breaking Tadeo Allende, whose crossing pass was deflected into the net by Vancouver’s Edier Ocampo.
After Vancouver tied it, Messi had a takeaway, then threaded a pass to send Rodrigo DePaul in alone on goal to make it 2-1 in the 72nd minute. DePaul was another Inter Miami special, an Atletico Madrid star who fit under the MLS salary-cap rules in midseason by saying he was just coming for this pro-rated season.
Related ArticlesFinally, there was the coupe de Messi on this title game. He played a ball off his chest, and to his left foot, which popped a pass over the Vancouver defense in stoppage time. It was Allende sent in alone on goal this time. His goal in the 96th minute started the celebration.
Messi ran over and hugged him. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano ran on the field and hugged Jordi Alba until they toppled to the grass.
“These games, they’re decided in a few moments,’’ Vancouver coach Jesper Sorensen said. “And when you play Miami they have players who can take them in those few moments.”
You can pick when this celebration started. Maybe it was when David Beckham picked Miami as his ownership destination in 2018. Maybe it was when baseball passed on Jorge Mas for Derek Jeter in 2017 and Mas and brother Jose bought into Inter Miami and then became full owners with Beckham in 2021.
Maybe it was the summer of 2023 when Beckham was awoken at 5 a.m. in Japan, saying the five-year recruitment of Messi was completed. It was a marketing venture as much as a sporting adventure, and it’s been a success by whatever metric you use.
The league’s social media footprint went from two million to 50 million followers with Messi aboard. Apple TV announced more than 300,000 new subscribers after Messi signed.
Inter Miami has sold out games at Chase Stadium even while raising ticket prices about four-fold. This was the final scheduled game here as the new stadium awaits in Miami. Another assist from Messi, who signed on for three more seasons.
Some of his friends are going. Alba and Sergio Busquets, 37, announced their impending retirement earlier this season and played their final game Saturday. Luis Suarez, 36, was benched during the first-round series against Nashville and might be done.
The exit of big names is part of the MLS story. But Messi isn’t leaving. He didn’t need a MLS title. But his smile in the aftermath showed, as Mascherano said, “He came here to win this cup.”
Messi’s two late-game assists carry Inter Miami to MLS Cup championship
FORT LAUDERDALE — Lionel Messi’s legacy was long secured when he came to Inter Miami and joined Major League Soccer. He’d won a World Cup, won dozens of trophies, was generally considered the greatest player in the sport’s history.
He didn’t need an MLS Cup.
But he wanted one — and got it.
Messi and Inter Miami have completed their ascent, beating the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 on Saturday in the MLS Cup final for the franchise’s first championship. It came 2 1/2 years after the legend arrived in South Florida, a move that stunned plenty of onlookers at the time.
He set up the title-clinching goal with a 72nd-minute assist to Rodrigo De Paul, a play where Messi stole the ball and threaded a pass through a tiny gap in a wall of Vancouver defenders. De Paul got it in stride, pushed it into the far corner of the net — and Messi went airborne to hop into his arms a few seconds later, all smiles.
And as the final minutes ticked away, Inter Miami’s pink-clad fans — most wearing Messi’s No. 10 on their backs — stood and stomped and cheered. South Florida has seen NFL and NBA and Major League Baseball and NHL titles in the past.
It’s a soccer town now, too. Messi made that happen. Tadeo Allende scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time — off another Messi assist, of course — to make it 3-1.

(Photo by Rich Storry/Getty Images)Inter Miami became the 16th franchise in the league’s 30-year history to win an MLS title. And this extends a run of parity for MLS, which has seen five different franchises win championships in the last five years and eight franchises claim a title in the last nine seasons — only Columbus has won twice in that span.
It was also the culmination of a 12-year odyssey for David Beckham, part of Inter Miami’s ownership group.
He retired as a player in 2013 and his MLS contract said he could start a franchise at a discounted rate when his career ended. Beckham chose Miami and it took him years to finally make it happen; it wasn’t until January 2018 when the franchise was formally born, after he partnered with Miami businessmen Jorge Mas and Jose Mas, and even then the team didn’t have a stadium plan.

(Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images)The team started play in 2020, and Messi arrived halfway through the 2023 season. Inter Miami was in last place in MLS at the time.
And then Messi arrived. The last-place team then now runs the league.
Related Articles“It’s been an incredible journey,” Beckham said.
The trophy is Messi’s 47th for club and country, extending his global men’s soccer record. He’s now won at least 21 titles in one-match final situations, many of them with the core of this team — Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Javier Mascherano, his longtime Barcelona teammates.
MESSI LIFTS YET ANOTHER TROPHY
Bianchi: Why Scott Frost’s ‘College football is broken’ critique should be the sport’s wake-up call
By any rational measure, Scott Frost didn’t say anything controversial at his National Signing Day media conference earlier this week. He didn’t rant. He didn’t deflect blame. He didn’t offer excuses.
He simply told the truth — the truth every coach whispers privately, the truth every administrator tiptoes around, the truth every fan of a non-superpower program already knows:
College football is broken. And the people breaking it are the very ones who wish Frost would just keep his opinions to himself.
Frost dared to say aloud what the sport’s gatekeepers prefer to bury under the blanket slogan of “the new era of college football.” That phrase sounds modern and exciting, but it’s simply a smoke screen for a system that has devolved into a financial free-for-all — one where rules are optional, oversight is toothless, spending is endless and integrity is a luxury only the underfunded can afford.
Frost punctured that illusion with a single line:
“It’s broken. College football’s broken.”
He’s right.
And his critics know he’s right. That’s why the legions of the miserable on social media are attacking him.
The NCAA’s new era of name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation was supposed to give athletes more control, more opportunity and more transparency. No reasonable person opposes players earning money in a system that generates billions.
But that’s not the problem Frost called out.
The problem is that schools are publicly and brazenly offering guaranteed NIL money that violates the very participation agreements that the sport’s new governing body — the College Sports Commission — has asked them to voluntarily sign. LSU’s massive NIL guarantees for Lane Kiffin and BYU’s booster-backed windfall to keep coach Kalani Sitake from taking the Penn State job are just the recent examples that made headlines. For every one of those stories, a dozen more slip quietly beneath the surface.
The CSC was meant to be the sport’s stabilizing force. Instead, it’s become the football equivalent of a speed-limit sign on a highway where every luxury car is going 120 miles per hour — and the drivers all know the cops won’t pull them over.
Frost didn’t invent this reality. He is merely trying to expose it.
Critics, including some UCF fans, say Frost is “complaining,” “making excuses,” or “being naïve.” But the outrage has nothing to do with his tone and everything to do with what his honesty threatens.
When Frost suggests that wealthier programs can simply buy their way around regulations, he isn’t whining — he’s describing the system as it actually functions. You see, when the House vs. NCAA court settlement came to fruition, all schools supposedly agreed to a $20.5 million revenue-sharing salary cap to pay its athletes while the farcical NIL deals — aka boosters and collectives paying athletes directly — were supposed to be banned.
Now you have schools like LSU and BYU essentially promising their coaches that they will supplement the $20.5 million revenue-sharing with millions more in additional cash to pay players.
“That’s baffling to me,” Frost said. “We’re going to sign participation agreements saying we’re not going to do any of that, and then you have newspaper articles come out about how much [some schools] are guaranteed to spend over revshare. … You know, any sport where whoever has the richest boosters wins — that’s not a good model for a sport. So we’re rooting for it to get curtailed. In the meantime, we’ve got to try to do the best we can.”
People who benefit from a broken system have one natural enemy: the person willing to name it as broken.
That’s Frost.
And that’s why his truth-telling has become inconvenient.
Frost also put his finger on the human cost of the current chaos — the cost almost no one wants to acknowledge.
Player development is evaporating. Loyalty is vanishing. The idea of a four-year college career; of relationships, mentorship, maturation, becoming a man and — don’t laugh — getting a college degree is slipping away in a cloud of one-year rentals and transfer roulette.
Some athletes will bounce among three, four or five schools, never anchoring to a community or a fan base or a friend group, never experiencing a homecoming, never forming bonds that outlast the season.
Coaches used to shape young men over several years. Now they’re lucky to get several months.
“The days of going to a school and being loyal to the school and being able to go back to homecomings and support a school that you were at for four or five years … some kids will never have that because they’ve been at three or four schools,” Frost said. “One of the things that I think a lot of coaches love about coaching is the mentoring side of it. That’s getting harder and harder to do.”
Frost recalls an incident right after his introductory news conference when he returned as UCF’s head coach last December
“I laugh about it now, but I did my press conference last year and had a couple players and their agents waiting outside my office five minutes after I did my press conference to start telling me how much money I needed to pay them, and I didn’t even know who the kids were,” Frost said.
Can you imagine the thoughts that must have been going through Frost’s mind at the time? … “Who are you? What’s your name? What position do you play? And you want HOW MUCH money?!”
Why has Frost saying this out loud somehow become controversial?
It shouldn’t be.
He’s simply being honest.
Ironically, Frost isn’t speaking from a place of weakness. UCF is in a stronger financial and structural position than it was a year ago. The Knights can compete in this era — but Frost is asking deeper questions:
Should the richest boosters win?
Should rules be optional?
Should participation agreements be ceremonial?
Should the sport’s soul be sold to the highest bidder?
Frost says no.
More people should say no.
More coaches should speak out. More administrators should speak out. More ESPN commentators should speak out. And, yes, more local media outlets should speak out and challenge the very programs that drive their traffic.
And the thing is, Frost isn’t criticizing the sport.
He’s defending it.
He’s defending a model where culture, development and relationships matter as much as bank accounts.
For that, he deserves praise — not backlash.
In a landscape full of silent cynics and loud salesmen, Scott Frost did something rare:
He told the truth.
Sadly, at this point, telling the truth may be the most revolutionary act left in the broken sport of college football.
