Inter Miami won the Campeones Cup with a 2-0 victory over Cruz Azul, with—who else but—Lionel Messi as the star of the show. The GOAT was involved in both goals, scoring one and providing an assist, while also reaching the 100-goal mark with his MLS team.
After the match and the awards ceremony, one of Inter Miami’s owners, David Beckham expressed his view that the Argentine should win his 9th Ballon d’Or next month.
“Messi should win the Ballon d’Or. He was probably the best player at the World Cup; he had an incredible year last year. He made such an impact on the World Cup. There’s no one else at 39 who can do what he does at that level…,” Beckham said.
