Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will face Inter Miami in the Round of 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, marking a reunion between Lionel Messi and his former club. Messi, who left PSG in 2023, helped Inter Miami advance to the knockout stage after a 2-2 draw against Palmeiras. The match is scheduled for Sunday, June 29, 2025, at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Following their elimination from the Club World Cup by PSG, Inter Miami returned to Major League Soccer (MLS) with a 4-1 victory over CF Montreal on July 5, 2025. Messi scored two goals and provided an assist in that match. He continued his outstanding form by scoring another brace in a 2-1 away win against New England Revolution on July 9, 2025. With this performance, Messi became the first player in MLS history to score multiple goals in four consecutive regular-season matches. Inter Miami's winning streak and Messi's record-breaking goal-scoring run highlight his pivotal role in the team since his transfer from PSG.
