The Argentine superstar once again proved why he remains one of the game's defining figures, producing a decisive display that further strengthened his remarkable legacy while helping his club begin the tournament perfectly. Lionel Messi delivered another unforgettable performance as Inter Miami opened its 2026 Leagues Cup campaign with an impressive victory, adding yet another milestone to his extraordinary career. The Argentine superstar once again proved why he remains one of the game’s defining figures, producing a decisive display that further strengthened his remarkable legacy while helping his club begin the tournament perfectly. The latest achievement adds to an already glittering resume that spans nearly two decades, but this one carried special significance in a competition that has become increasingly important across North America. By the final whistle, Messi had once again placed himself at the center of the soccer conversation after another night where his quality made the difference. Inter Miami opens with statement victory Inter Miami kicked off its Leagues Cup journey by defeating Atletico San Luis 4-2 in an entertaining contest that featured six goals, dramatic momentum swings, and another masterclass from Messi. Despite conceding within the opening minutes, the MLS side quickly recovered and seized control before halftime. David Rodríguez handed the Mexican club an early advantage after just four minutes, briefly silencing the home crowd. The response, however, came almost immediately, as Messi equalized in the 11th minute with a composed finish after being found by his teammates in space. The comeback continued midway through the first half when Telasco Segovia completed the turnaround, giving Inter Miami a deserved lead. Messi then struck again shortly before halftime, before defender Micael added a fourth goal in stoppage time, putting the match well beyond Atletico San Luis before the interval. Although Rafa Llorente reduced the deficit during the second half, Inter Miami comfortably protected its advantage to secure all three points. The victory also extended the club’s unbeaten run and immediately established it among the tournament favorites. Messi reaches another historic milestone The two goals did far more than secure victory for Inter Miami. Messi’s brace officially made him the Leagues Cup‘s all-time leading goalscorer, taking his tally to 14 goals in just 12 appearances. Entering the night, the Argentine was level with LAFC forward Denis Bouanga, but his first-half double moved him into first place on his own. Later in the evening, Bouanga also found the net to draw level again on 14 goals, but the Argentine superstar did it in fewer games.

His arrival transformed the club’s fortunes almost immediately, leading it to its first Leagues Cup title before guiding it back to another deep run in subsequent editions.
Lionel Messi scored his first World Cup after his campaign in the 2026 World Cup in Inter Miami's debut in the 2026 Leagues Cup against Atletico San Luis. Inter Miami opened its 2026 Leagues Cup campaign against Atletico San Luis on Wednesday, August 5, at Nu Stadium. Although the Mexican side grabbed an early lead, Lionel Messi answered back with his first two goals since the 2026 World Cup to turn the score around in South Florida. After making his return to action as a substitute against the Columbus Crew over the weekend, Messi rejoined Guillermo Hoyos’ starting lineup for the midweek fixture. David Rodriguez stunned the home crowd by heading in a fourth-minute opener, but the early deficit sparked the Herons, particularly Messi, into an immediate response. Hunting for an equalizer as Atletico San Luis sat deep in its defensive shell, Inter Miami orchestrated a crisp buildup through the midfield. Casemiro spotted Noah Allen wide on the left flank, and the defender whipped in a sharp cross to a trailing Messi, who redirected the ball past the keeper from the edge of the box in the 11th minute. Messi delivers once again. ⚽Miami's 10 opens his #LeaguesCup2026 account with his 13th goal in Leagues Cup history! 🐐Watch now @InterMiamiCF vs. @AtletideSanLuis on Apple TV 📺https://t.co/tms3b61AW0 pic.twitter.com/3lSQGXCMKv— Leagues Cup (@LeaguesCup) August 5, 2026 Shortly after, in the 26th minute, Telasco Segovia completed the first-half turnaround by tapping the ball into an open net following another precise delivery from Allen just before the hydration break. As the Mexican side pushed for a result, Messi appeared again to put the away side on its heels. Messi dropped into the middle of the pitch to collect a pass from Casemiro, and after a quick one-two with Yannick Bright, he opened the play wide to Allen. Once again, the defender delivered a pinpoint cross for Messi as he crashed the box, taking a quick touch before finishing calmly to complete his first-half brace in the 44th minute. But wait, there's more! 💥Messi scores his second goal of the first half vs. San Luis 🤯 pic.twitter.com/vCmwoydGkF— Major League Soccer (@MLS) August 6, 2026 The second half concluded with Messi playing a corner kick that found defender Micael inside the box to score the fourth goal for the Herons, and to add an assist for the Argentine ace. Messi takes top spot on Leagues Cup goalscoring leaderboard In his 2023 debut campaign with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi made an immediate impact by scoring 10 goals during his first Leagues Cup appearance to lead the Herons to the title. Following back-to-back seasons interrupted by injuries, Messi marked his return to the tournament by surging to the top of the competition’s all-time scoring charts. With his first-half brace, Messi brought his total to 14 goals in 12 all-time Leagues Cup matches, surpassing LAFC’s Denis Bouanga (13) to become the single highest goalscorer in tournament history. Minnesota United’s Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Philadelphia Union’s Tai Baribo, and former Columbus Crew forward Cucho Hernandez remain tied for third on the all-time list with seven goals apiece.

Son Heung-min and Sebastian Berhalter are two of the most prominent names that'll take part of the MLS-Liga MX All-Star Game while having participated in the 2026 World Cup. The annual showcase pitting MLS against Liga MX is right around the corner, set to bring together the premier talent across North America’s top two leagues. Fresh off the heels of the 2026 World Cup, South Korean superstar Son Heung-min and USMNT midfielder Sebastian Berhalter lead an extended list of international stars returning from World Cup duty to participate in the event. The marquee exhibition takes place Wednesday, July 29, at Bank of America Stadium, home of Charlotte FC. Coming just 10 days after the World Cup final, the All-Star match will serve as the first action back on the pitch for many returning international players, particularly those representing the three North American co-host nations. The USMNT presence on the MLS squad includes goalkeeper Matt Freese (New York City FC), veteran defender Tim Ream (Charlotte FC), midfielder Sebastian Berhalter (Vancouver Whitecaps FC) who’s expected to sign for Middlesbrough according to The Ahtletic, and wing-back Max Arfsten (Columbus Crew). Representing the Canadian national team, goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau (Orlando City) and defender Richie Laryea (Toronto FC) will both suit up. Liga MX‘s World Cup contingent relies heavily on El Tri‘s domestic core. The Mexican national team members featured on the Liga MX All-Star roster include goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo (Santos Laguna), defender Jesus Gallardo (Toluca), defender Israel Reyes (Club América), and midfielder Erik Lira (Cruz Azul).

Born and raised in Colombia, star forward Julián Quiñones is now a crucial weapon for Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, where he has established himself as an undisputed starter under manager Javier Aguirre. As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup alongside the United States and Canada, Mexico are eager to put together a deep, historic run on home soil in front of their passionate fans. To achieve that, El Tri are relying heavily on dynamic forward Julián Quiñones to spearhead the team’s attack. Despite becoming a central figure for the Mexican national team, Quiñones’ backstory is highly unique. The striker was not born in Mexico; instead, he was born and raised in Magüí Payán, Colombia, spending his childhood there before moving to Mexican soil to jumpstart his professional career. In 2015, at just 18 years old, Quiñones signed with Liga MX giants Tigres UANL. Mexico quickly became his second home. Over the next eight years, the forward bounced between various Mexican clubs—including Venados, Lobos BUAP, and a historic back-to-back championship run with Atlas—before cementing his superstar status with Club América. Having lived, worked, and excelled in the country continuously for nearly a decade, Quiñones officially checked all the legal boxes to seek Mexican citizenship. In October 2023, he received his naturalization papers, officially making him a Mexican citizen. Julian Quinones #16 of Mexico celebrates a goal vs South Africa at the 2026 World Cup. (Getty Images) Quiñones earned his lock-solid spot on Javier Aguirre’s World Cup roster for one very concrete reason: his blistering goalscoring form. The forward closed out the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League season with an astonishing 33 goals in 31 matches for Al-Qadsiah, a spectacular tally that saw him win the Golden Boot ahead of elite world-class stars like Ivan Toney and Cristiano Ronaldo. How did Quiñones become eligible for Mexico? Under FIFA’s eligibility rules, holding a country’s passport is not always enough to represent them internationally. A player must also meet specific criteria regarding residency or lineage, and they cannot have played in a competitive, senior-level international match for another country. Quiñones fit the bill perfectly. Because he lived in Mexico continuously for more than five years after turning 18 and never made a competitive appearance for Colombia’s senior national team, he cleared every FIFA hurdle required to change his international allegiance. Quiñones rejected playing for Colombia In the summer of 2023, the Colombian Football Federation reached out to Quiñones regarding a potential call-up to their senior squad. While the forward initially considered representing his birth country, he ultimately chose to commit his international future to Mexico—a decision he made as a profound token of gratitude to the country that gave him everything as a player.
Two years ago, Quiñones was the target of racist chants by fans. Now, hailed as a hero in that same country, he’s challenging expectations of race and identityOn a March night in Guadalajara in 2024, Club América were winning El Clásico Nacional. Julián Quiñones, their star player, had scored and headed toward the sideline. Then a shout at Quiñones, who is Black, rang out from the stands. ¡Puto negro! A racial slur.Moments later, monkey noises were heard in the stands. The scene was familiar to anyone who follows Mexican soccer. Cell phone videos captured it. Commentators analyzed it the next day. Officials condemned it. Investigations were announced. For a few days, the Mexican game went through its ritual of shock. Continue reading...
Sebastian Caceres is one of the multiple stars in the 2026 World Cup that's using a protective mask, in this case in the Uruguay game against Cape Verde. Sebastian Caceres will anchor the backline for Uruguay on Sunday as the primary center-back tasked with neutralizing Cape Verde’s attack during this highly anticipated 2026 World Cup Group H clash at Hard Rock Stadium. However, much like a handful of other prominent stars competing in North America, the defender has drawn some buzz for playing through the tournament with a specialized protective face mask. Caceres is required to wear the custom facial armor due to a severe injury he sustained in May while playing for Liga MX Club America during the domestic playoff quarterfinals. Contesting a 50-50 aerial ball against Pumas UNAM, the center-back was forced to exit the match in the 61st minute, ultimately sidelining him for the second leg as America was eliminated from the tournament. Club America medical staff issued an emergency diagnostic update shortly after the match, revealing that the collision had resulted in a concussion, a fractured zygomatic arch, and direct ocular trauma. The multi-layered facial fracture required immediate intervention from specialists, throwing his availability into serious doubt just as Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa was finalizing his preliminary World Cup roster. Fortunately, following an intensive, specialized rehabilitation process, Caceres managed to regain full physical fitness just in time to join the national team camp in the United States. To safely take the pitch, he must wear a protective mask featuring an extended right-cheek guard, a necessary precaution designed to stabilize the underlying bone structure and shield the healing area from any secondary impacts. Sebastian Caceres #3 of Uruguay reacts after the 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. Caceres, a cornerstone in Bielsa’s Uruguay Despite making his senior international debut in late 2022 and subsequently missing out on the final roster cut for Qatar, Caceres has rapidly transformed into one of Bielsa’s most trusted defensive cornerstones. The 26-year-old defender has already logged 24 career appearances for La Celeste, demonstrating exceptional positional awareness and gritty tactical discipline even though he has yet to record his first international goal. With Ronald Araujo sidelined from peak physical form and long-time captain Jose Maria Gimenez surprisingly dropped to the bench for the tournament opener against Saudi Arabia, Caceres has shouldered immense defensive responsibility. Partnering alongside Napoli’s versatile defender Mathias Olivera, the masked center back will feature his second World Cup game against Cape Verde.

The Argentine superstar once again proved why he remains one of the game's defining figures, producing a decisive display that further strengthened his remarkable legacy while helping his club begin the tournament perfectly. Lionel Messi delivered another unforgettable performance as Inter Miami opened its 2026 Leagues Cup campaign with an impressive victory, adding yet another milestone to his extraordinary career. The Argentine superstar once again proved why he remains one of the game’s defining figures, producing a decisive display that further strengthened his remarkable legacy while helping his club begin the tournament perfectly. The latest achievement adds to an already glittering resume that spans nearly two decades, but this one carried special significance in a competition that has become increasingly important across North America. By the final whistle, Messi had once again placed himself at the center of the soccer conversation after another night where his quality made the difference. Inter Miami opens with statement victory Inter Miami kicked off its Leagues Cup journey by defeating Atletico San Luis 4-2 in an entertaining contest that featured six goals, dramatic momentum swings, and another masterclass from Messi. Despite conceding within the opening minutes, the MLS side quickly recovered and seized control before halftime. David Rodríguez handed the Mexican club an early advantage after just four minutes, briefly silencing the home crowd. The response, however, came almost immediately, as Messi equalized in the 11th minute with a composed finish after being found by his teammates in space. The comeback continued midway through the first half when Telasco Segovia completed the turnaround, giving Inter Miami a deserved lead. Messi then struck again shortly before halftime, before defender Micael added a fourth goal in stoppage time, putting the match well beyond Atletico San Luis before the interval. Although Rafa Llorente reduced the deficit during the second half, Inter Miami comfortably protected its advantage to secure all three points. The victory also extended the club’s unbeaten run and immediately established it among the tournament favorites. Messi reaches another historic milestone The two goals did far more than secure victory for Inter Miami. Messi’s brace officially made him the Leagues Cup‘s all-time leading goalscorer, taking his tally to 14 goals in just 12 appearances. Entering the night, the Argentine was level with LAFC forward Denis Bouanga, but his first-half double moved him into first place on his own. Later in the evening, Bouanga also found the net to draw level again on 14 goals, but the Argentine superstar did it in fewer games.

His arrival transformed the club’s fortunes almost immediately, leading it to its first Leagues Cup title before guiding it back to another deep run in subsequent editions.
Lionel Messi scored his first World Cup after his campaign in the 2026 World Cup in Inter Miami's debut in the 2026 Leagues Cup against Atletico San Luis. Inter Miami opened its 2026 Leagues Cup campaign against Atletico San Luis on Wednesday, August 5, at Nu Stadium. Although the Mexican side grabbed an early lead, Lionel Messi answered back with his first two goals since the 2026 World Cup to turn the score around in South Florida. After making his return to action as a substitute against the Columbus Crew over the weekend, Messi rejoined Guillermo Hoyos’ starting lineup for the midweek fixture. David Rodriguez stunned the home crowd by heading in a fourth-minute opener, but the early deficit sparked the Herons, particularly Messi, into an immediate response. Hunting for an equalizer as Atletico San Luis sat deep in its defensive shell, Inter Miami orchestrated a crisp buildup through the midfield. Casemiro spotted Noah Allen wide on the left flank, and the defender whipped in a sharp cross to a trailing Messi, who redirected the ball past the keeper from the edge of the box in the 11th minute. Messi delivers once again. ⚽Miami's 10 opens his #LeaguesCup2026 account with his 13th goal in Leagues Cup history! 🐐Watch now @InterMiamiCF vs. @AtletideSanLuis on Apple TV 📺https://t.co/tms3b61AW0 pic.twitter.com/3lSQGXCMKv— Leagues Cup (@LeaguesCup) August 5, 2026 Shortly after, in the 26th minute, Telasco Segovia completed the first-half turnaround by tapping the ball into an open net following another precise delivery from Allen just before the hydration break. As the Mexican side pushed for a result, Messi appeared again to put the away side on its heels. Messi dropped into the middle of the pitch to collect a pass from Casemiro, and after a quick one-two with Yannick Bright, he opened the play wide to Allen. Once again, the defender delivered a pinpoint cross for Messi as he crashed the box, taking a quick touch before finishing calmly to complete his first-half brace in the 44th minute. But wait, there's more! 💥Messi scores his second goal of the first half vs. San Luis 🤯 pic.twitter.com/vCmwoydGkF— Major League Soccer (@MLS) August 6, 2026 The second half concluded with Messi playing a corner kick that found defender Micael inside the box to score the fourth goal for the Herons, and to add an assist for the Argentine ace. Messi takes top spot on Leagues Cup goalscoring leaderboard In his 2023 debut campaign with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi made an immediate impact by scoring 10 goals during his first Leagues Cup appearance to lead the Herons to the title. Following back-to-back seasons interrupted by injuries, Messi marked his return to the tournament by surging to the top of the competition’s all-time scoring charts. With his first-half brace, Messi brought his total to 14 goals in 12 all-time Leagues Cup matches, surpassing LAFC’s Denis Bouanga (13) to become the single highest goalscorer in tournament history. Minnesota United’s Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Philadelphia Union’s Tai Baribo, and former Columbus Crew forward Cucho Hernandez remain tied for third on the all-time list with seven goals apiece.

Son Heung-min and Sebastian Berhalter are two of the most prominent names that'll take part of the MLS-Liga MX All-Star Game while having participated in the 2026 World Cup. The annual showcase pitting MLS against Liga MX is right around the corner, set to bring together the premier talent across North America’s top two leagues. Fresh off the heels of the 2026 World Cup, South Korean superstar Son Heung-min and USMNT midfielder Sebastian Berhalter lead an extended list of international stars returning from World Cup duty to participate in the event. The marquee exhibition takes place Wednesday, July 29, at Bank of America Stadium, home of Charlotte FC. Coming just 10 days after the World Cup final, the All-Star match will serve as the first action back on the pitch for many returning international players, particularly those representing the three North American co-host nations. The USMNT presence on the MLS squad includes goalkeeper Matt Freese (New York City FC), veteran defender Tim Ream (Charlotte FC), midfielder Sebastian Berhalter (Vancouver Whitecaps FC) who’s expected to sign for Middlesbrough according to The Ahtletic, and wing-back Max Arfsten (Columbus Crew). Representing the Canadian national team, goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau (Orlando City) and defender Richie Laryea (Toronto FC) will both suit up. Liga MX‘s World Cup contingent relies heavily on El Tri‘s domestic core. The Mexican national team members featured on the Liga MX All-Star roster include goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo (Santos Laguna), defender Jesus Gallardo (Toluca), defender Israel Reyes (Club América), and midfielder Erik Lira (Cruz Azul).

Born and raised in Colombia, star forward Julián Quiñones is now a crucial weapon for Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, where he has established himself as an undisputed starter under manager Javier Aguirre. As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup alongside the United States and Canada, Mexico are eager to put together a deep, historic run on home soil in front of their passionate fans. To achieve that, El Tri are relying heavily on dynamic forward Julián Quiñones to spearhead the team’s attack. Despite becoming a central figure for the Mexican national team, Quiñones’ backstory is highly unique. The striker was not born in Mexico; instead, he was born and raised in Magüí Payán, Colombia, spending his childhood there before moving to Mexican soil to jumpstart his professional career. In 2015, at just 18 years old, Quiñones signed with Liga MX giants Tigres UANL. Mexico quickly became his second home. Over the next eight years, the forward bounced between various Mexican clubs—including Venados, Lobos BUAP, and a historic back-to-back championship run with Atlas—before cementing his superstar status with Club América. Having lived, worked, and excelled in the country continuously for nearly a decade, Quiñones officially checked all the legal boxes to seek Mexican citizenship. In October 2023, he received his naturalization papers, officially making him a Mexican citizen. Julian Quinones #16 of Mexico celebrates a goal vs South Africa at the 2026 World Cup. (Getty Images) Quiñones earned his lock-solid spot on Javier Aguirre’s World Cup roster for one very concrete reason: his blistering goalscoring form. The forward closed out the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League season with an astonishing 33 goals in 31 matches for Al-Qadsiah, a spectacular tally that saw him win the Golden Boot ahead of elite world-class stars like Ivan Toney and Cristiano Ronaldo. How did Quiñones become eligible for Mexico? Under FIFA’s eligibility rules, holding a country’s passport is not always enough to represent them internationally. A player must also meet specific criteria regarding residency or lineage, and they cannot have played in a competitive, senior-level international match for another country. Quiñones fit the bill perfectly. Because he lived in Mexico continuously for more than five years after turning 18 and never made a competitive appearance for Colombia’s senior national team, he cleared every FIFA hurdle required to change his international allegiance. Quiñones rejected playing for Colombia In the summer of 2023, the Colombian Football Federation reached out to Quiñones regarding a potential call-up to their senior squad. While the forward initially considered representing his birth country, he ultimately chose to commit his international future to Mexico—a decision he made as a profound token of gratitude to the country that gave him everything as a player.
Two years ago, Quiñones was the target of racist chants by fans. Now, hailed as a hero in that same country, he’s challenging expectations of race and identityOn a March night in Guadalajara in 2024, Club América were winning El Clásico Nacional. Julián Quiñones, their star player, had scored and headed toward the sideline. Then a shout at Quiñones, who is Black, rang out from the stands. ¡Puto negro! A racial slur.Moments later, monkey noises were heard in the stands. The scene was familiar to anyone who follows Mexican soccer. Cell phone videos captured it. Commentators analyzed it the next day. Officials condemned it. Investigations were announced. For a few days, the Mexican game went through its ritual of shock. Continue reading...
Sebastian Caceres is one of the multiple stars in the 2026 World Cup that's using a protective mask, in this case in the Uruguay game against Cape Verde. Sebastian Caceres will anchor the backline for Uruguay on Sunday as the primary center-back tasked with neutralizing Cape Verde’s attack during this highly anticipated 2026 World Cup Group H clash at Hard Rock Stadium. However, much like a handful of other prominent stars competing in North America, the defender has drawn some buzz for playing through the tournament with a specialized protective face mask. Caceres is required to wear the custom facial armor due to a severe injury he sustained in May while playing for Liga MX Club America during the domestic playoff quarterfinals. Contesting a 50-50 aerial ball against Pumas UNAM, the center-back was forced to exit the match in the 61st minute, ultimately sidelining him for the second leg as America was eliminated from the tournament. Club America medical staff issued an emergency diagnostic update shortly after the match, revealing that the collision had resulted in a concussion, a fractured zygomatic arch, and direct ocular trauma. The multi-layered facial fracture required immediate intervention from specialists, throwing his availability into serious doubt just as Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa was finalizing his preliminary World Cup roster. Fortunately, following an intensive, specialized rehabilitation process, Caceres managed to regain full physical fitness just in time to join the national team camp in the United States. To safely take the pitch, he must wear a protective mask featuring an extended right-cheek guard, a necessary precaution designed to stabilize the underlying bone structure and shield the healing area from any secondary impacts. Sebastian Caceres #3 of Uruguay reacts after the 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. Caceres, a cornerstone in Bielsa’s Uruguay Despite making his senior international debut in late 2022 and subsequently missing out on the final roster cut for Qatar, Caceres has rapidly transformed into one of Bielsa’s most trusted defensive cornerstones. The 26-year-old defender has already logged 24 career appearances for La Celeste, demonstrating exceptional positional awareness and gritty tactical discipline even though he has yet to record his first international goal. With Ronald Araujo sidelined from peak physical form and long-time captain Jose Maria Gimenez surprisingly dropped to the bench for the tournament opener against Saudi Arabia, Caceres has shouldered immense defensive responsibility. Partnering alongside Napoli’s versatile defender Mathias Olivera, the masked center back will feature his second World Cup game against Cape Verde.
