Messi surpassed Denis Bouanga to become the all-time leading scorer in the competition, which features teams from American MLS and Mexican top division. Last season, Messi and Inter Miami reached the final but lost 0-3 to Seattle Sounders, though they won the tournament in 2023 with Messi as top scorer.
