Thousands of fans on Sunday flocked to Lumen Field to witness Lionel Messi as Seattle Sounders played against Inter Miami in the 2025 Leagues Cup final.

A capacity crowd of nearly 70,000 has packed the Seattle stadium, with ticket sales on track to smash previous Leagues Cup records.

The latest triumph came before an announced crowd of 69,314 — shattering the previous record for a Leagues Cup crowd of 50,675. It was also a record for a Sounders game at Lumen Field, beating the 69,274 they drew for the 2019 MLS Cup final against Toronto.

Seattle Sounders stun Messi’s Inter Miami 3-0 to lift Leagues Cup

The Seattle Sounders stunned Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 3-0 on Sunday to win the Leagues Cup, completing their collection of North American trophies in front of a record crowd at Lumen Field.

Osaze De Rosario scored in the 26th minute and Alex Roldan added a penalty in the second half before Paul Rothrock capped the scoring for the Sounders, whose determined defense stymied a star-studded Inter lineup led by Argentine icon Messi.

Inter’s frustrations spilled over at the final whistle and officials had to scramble to quell a brewing brawl before the Sounders could celebrate their first Leagues Cup title.

The Seattle Sounders became the first Major League Soccer team to win every North American Trophy on offer. They already own two MLS Cup crowns, an MLS Supporters Shield, four US Open Cups and a CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Miami and Seattle both advanced to the Leagues Cup final after impressive semifinal performances. Inter Miami overcame Orlando City 3-1 at home, erasing a 1-0 deficit thanks to two crucial goals from Argentine legend Lionel Messi—a penalty in the 77th minute and another in the 88th. Midfielder Telasco Segovia sealed the victory with a stoppage-time strike.
