Inter Miami suffers heavy defeat to Cincinnati despite Messi’s best efforts

Lionel Messi couldn’t prevent Inter Miami’s heavy defeat during their away match against Cincinnati in week 24 of MLS 2025 at TQL Stadium.

Javier Mascherano’s team had to accept a 0-3 loss — despite the superstar’s maximum effort throughout the match.

Messi recorded an impressive individual performance with five shots on goal — the highest among all Inter Miami players, plus one key pass and one successful duel.

Inter Miami’s defeat began when the match was 16 minutes in as Gerardo Valenzuela managed to breach the visiting team’s goal for Cincinnati’s lead.
