Messi missed his 47th championship in his career, Suarez lost again

11:21pm, 1 September 2025Football

Messi, who put on the runner-up medal, looked a little confused.

As Miami International lost 0-3 to the Seattle Bayer in the League Cup final on September 1, Messi's 47th career championship trophy failed.

Miami International accounts for 68% of the ball possession rate, with a corner kick of 8 to 4 and a 10 to 10. It seems that this should not be a one-sided game, but the lack of ability to seize opportunities has always been led by their opponents. The data shows that the positive number of shots between the two sides is 0 to 5.

In the 26th minute, Drosario scored and helped Seattle take a 1-0 lead. In the 84th minute, Minon Gu created a point, and Roaldan scored it in one go, and Seattle 2-0. Five minutes later, Rothrock caught Miami's defense and made another goal, 3-0.

Messi played all over the game. Although he also created some opportunities for his teammates, he failed to help the team turn the tide in the dilemma. After the game, Miami star Suarez was very angry and spitted at a Seattle Bayer staff member. The scene was recorded by the broadcast footage. It is reported that Suarez's behavior is likely to result in suspension.

This time Suarez is more eye-catching off the field than on the field.

In addition, there were conflicts between the players on both sides after the game, and several players wrestled together. After the conflict ended, Seattle coach Schmetzer took the initiative to find Messi and held Messi's hand to talk, as if comforting Messi, and Messi also responded. Before the game, Schmetzer said in an interview: "Messi is the best player of all time." However, he also emphasized that there is an excellent striker like Rothrock in his team. In this game, Rothrock scored a goal that locked the score for Seattle.

Regarding such a crushing defeat, Miami coach Mascherano said after the game: "Details determine success or failure. The score is a bit too disparity. We created some opportunities in the game, but the second goal was lost to the end of the game."

Losing in this game, Messi's career championship number is still frozen at 46. He previously won the World Cup and the Copa America for Argentina, and helped Barcelona win 4 Champions League, 10 La Liga, 7 King's Cup, and 3 Club World Cup championships in the club. He also won 2 French Ligue 1 and 1 French Super Cup championship for Barcelona. After joining Miami, Messi won the North American League Cup and the FA League regular season championship. It is obvious that the gains and losses of a League Cup do not affect Messi's career at all, but Miami International's performance in this game is embarrassing.
