Inter Miami vs Seattle Sounders – Leagues Cup Final 2025

🎉 A Final That Promises Fireworks

Sunday night, Lumen Field, Seattle – and yes, once again, all eyes are on one man: Lionel Messi. At 38 years old, with legs that have carried him across the globe, he’s still the main attraction. Coming back from injury, Messi scored twice in the semifinal against Orlando, single-handedly turning the game around. It’s like he has a hidden “GOAT mode” switch.

But it’s not just Messi. Alongside him are his old Barcelona friends – Suárez and Jordi Alba – making Inter Miami look like a mini-Barça on American soil. Since July: 9 wins, 3 draws, only 2 losses.

On the other side: the Seattle Sounders. A club that refuses to play second fiddle. They already boast two MLS Cups, a Supporters’ Shield, four US Open Cups, and a CONCACAF Champions Cup. If they win the Leagues Cup, they’ll become the first MLS team to have literally won every major North American trophy.

⚽ Why This Final Matters

• The winner goes directly to the Round of 16 in the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
• Both teams are already qualified, but the final is about pride and legacy.
• The champion also earns a pathway to the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.
• And of course, bragging rights: “We beat Messi in a final” or “Messi carried us to another trophy.”
