CONCACAF Champions Cup: Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi has credited the club's MLS Cup triumph to his teammates' determination, saying the group met every challenge across a demanding campaign.

The 38-year-old Argentine said the 3-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps in Saturday's final was just a reward for a season that included 58 games across all competitions for the Florida outfit.

"One of the objectives when we arrived here was this," said Messi, who joined Miami along with former Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in July 2023.
