Sergio Busquets , Rodrigo De Paul and Lionel Messi made history in MLS Cup 2025 presented by Audi.
With Inter Miami CF 's 3-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Chase Stadium, that trio became the first players to win both an MLS Cup and FIFA World Cup .
De Paul and Messi captured the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, while Busquets lifted the 2010 World Cup with Spain.
Unsurprisingly, all three players were crucial as Inter Miami raised their first Philip F. Anschutz Trophy.
Messi was named MLS Cup 2025 MVP presented by Audi for a two-assist performance, including on De Paul's 71st-minute game-winning goal. Messi and De Paul also helped create the opener, scored by Vancouver defender Édier Ocampo (8') after a Tadeo Allende cross.
Meanwhile, Busquets went the full 90 m
