FIFA Club World Cup: Inter Miami CF's progress to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 knockout stages has come with a bittersweet aftertaste.

The Major League Soccer (MLS) team were just 10 minutes away from securing an emphatic 2-0 victory against SE Palmeiras to secure a date in the Round of 16 with Botafogo. Instead, they gave away two late goals to slip to second in Group A, meaning they will now face the mighty Paris Saint-Germain, setting up a reunion for Lionel Messi with his former club.

Inter Miami are, though understandably, delighted about becoming MLS's first and only representative to reach the last 16 of the global showpiece. And they did it in some style, going unbeaten in the group stages with a stirring comeback victory against Porto FC coupled with draws against Al Ahly FC and Palmeiras.
