Lionel Messi and Inter Miami were handed their most devastating loss since the Argentine star joined the MLS, falling 4-1 to Minnesota United in a collapse that exposed growing cracks in the club's form.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC became the third Canadian team in the last 10 years to qualify for the Champions Cup Final

It was only the eighth loss in Messi's 53 appearances for IMCF across all competitions. Previously, the worst scorelines with the Argentinian World Cup winner on the pitch were 3-1 defeats to Vancouver in 2025 (Champions Cup), Monterrey in 2024 (Champions Cup) and Atlanta United in 2024 (MLS regular season).
