Inter Miami is qualified for the Club World Cup playoffs, and its next challenge will be Paris Saint‑Germain — Messi's former club, where he played for two seasons alongside Neymar and Mbappé before joining Inter Miami.

Inter Miami and Palmeiras have both booked a spot in the 2025 Club World Cup knockout stage after an entertaining 2-2 draw at Hard Rock Stadium. The MLS side finished as runners-up in Group A and were left disappointed after squandering a 2-0 lead.

Inter Miami appeared to be cruising to a victory in the match, which would clinch the group. But Palmerias battled back, scoring twice in the final 15 minutes. Paulinho and Mauricio, two substitutes, scored in the 80th and 87th minute, respectively.
