Club World Cup 2025: Two Round of 16 fixtures confirmed

Paris Saint-Germain will play Inter Miami in the Round of 16 at the ongoing Club World Cup in the United States.

It is a fixture that many football fans and pundits have quickly dubbed The Lionel Messi Derby, as the Argentine maestro moved to the MLS from PSG.

Inter booked their spot in the knockouts following a 2-2 draw with Palmeiras.

They had raced into a two-goal lead, with Tadeo Allende and Luis Suarez scoring in either half.

But the Brazilian club were level within seven minutes towards the end of the match, thanks to goals from Paulinho and Mauricio.

Inter Miami are the only MLS team to reach the last 16 after both Los Angeles FC and the Seattle Sounders were eliminated.

Palmeiras themselves have also qualified for the next round as group winners and will face Botafogo.
