Lionel Messi added another chapter to his American story in the early hours of Thursday, firing Inter Miami to the Campeones Cup title with a 2-0 win over Mexican side Cruz Azul. The night also handed the Argentine an exceptional new record.

He struck Inter Miami's opener in the 24th minute, then teed up Casemiro for the second from an 81st-minute corner. Once again, Messi delivered on the big occasion.

Just 115 matches. That's all it took Messi to reach 100 goals in all competitions for Inter Miami, his fastest ever rate with any club in his career.
