Summary
Inter Miami finally has a trophy in 2026. But does winning the Campeones Cup change how we should feel about this season? After a difficult stretch of results, Inter Miami defeated Cruz Azul to capture the Campeones Cup, giving the Herons their first silverware of the year. On this episode of Battered Herons, we’re taking a second look at the victory now that the celebration has settled down. Does winning a trophy salvage what had become a disappointing season? How much should the Campeones Cup mean to supporters? And after debating whether this competition even mattered before the game, does actually lifting the trophy change our perspective? We’re also talking about Kily González’s first match in charge. He walked into Inter Miami and immediately won a trophy, but how much of what we saw can realistically be attributed to the new manager? We’ll discuss the tactical changes we noticed, his decisions and whether Wednesday gave us any clues about what Kily’s Inter Miami will eventually become. Most importantly: where does Miami go from here? One trophy doesn’t erase all of the problems we’ve seen, but could this be exactly the spark Inter Miami needed heading into the final stretch of the season? We’ll finish the show by turning our attention to San Diego FC and previewing this weekend’s matchup as Miami tries to take the momentum from a championship night and finally turn it into sustained MLS success. Champions on Wednesday. Back to work this weekend.
