Inter Miami failed to win the Leagues Cup, and toward the end, Luis Suárez once again gave us a grotesque image that only adds to his troubling history of negative moments in his career.

The Uruguayan footballer, with emotions running high, was caught on camera apparently spitting at a member of the Seattle technical staff.

Inter Miami, with Messi, thrashed

The Seattle Sounders crushed Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, 3-0 on Sunday in the 2025 Leagues Cup final at Lumen Field in Seattle, denying the Argentine star the chance to claim his third title in American soccer.

Goals from Osaze De Rosario in the first half, and Alex Roldán and Paul Rothrock in the second, sealed the fate of an Inter Miami side that lacked finishing despite clear chances from Messi and Tadeo Allende.

With this victory, the Sounders were crowned Leagues Cup champions, while Inter Miami, which won the trophy in 2023, still secured a spot in the 2026 Concacaf Champions League as finalists.

Messi, Suárez, and Allende couldn’t save Inter Miami

The atmosphere at Lumen Field was electric, with thousands of local fans cheering for the Sounders and several Messi banners visible in the stands. From the start, Seattle played aggressively, with dynamic wing play and constant pressure on the Argentine, who struggled to find space.

The pressure paid off in the 26th minute with a header from De Rosario, the Sounders’ top scorer in the tournament. Inter Miami responded in the second half with clear chances from Messi and Allende off passes from Luis Suárez, but a lack of finishing and physical fatigue proved decisive.

In the final stretch, Alex Roldán extended the lead from a penalty kick (82’) and Paul Rothrock sealed the 3-0 rout, capping a historic night for the Sounders in Seattle.
