INTER MIAMI ARE CAMPEONES CUP CHAMPIONS! After a difficult stretch of results and plenty of questions surrounding this team, Inter Miami has finally lifted its first trophy of the 2026 season, defeating Cruz Azul to win the Campeones Cup! And what a way for the Kily González era to begin. His first match in charge of Inter Miami ends with a trophy, giving the Herons exactly the type of result they desperately needed after winning just once in their previous nine matches. On this episode of Battered Herons, we're celebrating the championship and breaking down everything we saw against Cruz Azul. We'll discuss Kily's first lineup and tactical decisions, what immediately looked different under the new manager, the biggest individual performances, the defining moments of the final and what winning this trophy could mean for the remainder of Miami's season. We spent the buildup asking whether the Campeones Cup even mattered. Well… Inter Miami won it. And after everything this team has gone through recently, lifting a trophy feels pretty damn good. CAMPEONES CUP CHAMPIONS! Is this simply one great night—or could this be the beginning of something different under Kily González?
