Lionel Messi added another trophy to his remarkable career after Inter Miami defeated Cruz Azul 2-0 to win the 2026 Campeones Cup on September 16, 2026.
The victory gives Messi and Inter Miami another piece of silverware, but their 2026 trophy hunt is not necessarily over. With the Major League Soccer season continuing, Messi could still add more titles before the end of the year.
Here is a look at what other trophies Lionel Messi can still win with Inter Miami in 2026.
Lionel Messi Wins 2026 Campeones Cup With Inter Miami
Inter Miami captured the 2026 Campeones Cup by defeating Liga MX side Cruz Azul 2-0.
Messi reached another significant milestone during the match by scoring his 100th goal for Inter Miami, while also providing an assist for Casemiro.
The Campeones Cup brings together the reigning MLS Cup champion and Liga MX champion in a one-match competition, giving Inter Miami another official trophy during the Messi era.
But there could be more to come.
Can Lionel Messi Win the 2026 Supporters’ Shield?
Yes. The 2026 MLS Supporters’ Shield remains one of the trophies Messi and Inter Miami can potentially win.
The Supporters’ Shield is awarded to the MLS team that finishes the regular season with the best overall record based on points.
Inter Miami remains mathematically alive in the Supporters’ Shield race, although the club will need strong results down the stretch while also getting help from teams ahead of them in the standings.
Winning the Supporters’ Shield would give Messi another MLS trophy and reward Inter Miami for finishing with the league’s best regular-season record.
Can Lionel Messi Win the 2026 MLS Cup?
Yes. The 2026 MLS Cup is the biggest remaining trophy available to Messi and Inter Miami this season.
Inter Miami entered 2026 as the defending MLS Cup champion after capturing the championship in 2025.
To repeat, Miami must qualify for the 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs and advance through the postseason before reaching the MLS Cup Final.
Unlike the Supporters’ Shield, which is determined by regular-season performance, MLS Cup is decided through the league’s postseason tournament.
A second consecutive MLS Cup would give Messi and Inter Miami back-to-back league championships.
Can Inter Miami Still Win the 2026 Leagues Cup?
No. Inter Miami can no longer win the 2026 Leagues Cup after being eliminated from the competition.
That means Messi will have to wait until a future edition to add another Leagues Cup title to the one Inter Miami famously captured in 2023 shortly after his arrival in South Florida.
Can Messi Still Win the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup?
No. The 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup is also no longer available to Inter Miami following the club’s elimination from the continental competition.
Winning the Concacaf Champions Cup remains one of the major club trophies Messi has yet to capture with Inter Miami.
What Trophies Can Lionel Messi Still Win in 2026?
Following Inter Miami’s Campeones Cup victory, Messi’s 2026 trophy situation looks like this:
- 2026 Campeones Cup: Won
- 2026 Supporters’ Shield: Still possible
- 2026 MLS Cup: Still possible
- 2026 Leagues Cup: Eliminated
- 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup: Eliminated
That leaves two additional team trophies still potentially available to Messi and Inter Miami in 2026: the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup.
Could Lionel Messi Win Three Inter Miami Trophies in 2026?
Yes. If Inter Miami follows its Campeones Cup victory by winning both the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup, Messi could finish 2026 having lifted three trophies with the club.
The Supporters’ Shield will be determined by Miami’s performance over the remainder of the MLS regular season, while MLS Cup would require a successful postseason run.
With the Campeones Cup already secured, attention now shifts back to MLS as Messi and Inter Miami attempt to add even more silverware before the end of 2026.
