Inter Miami's defeat to PSG has officially disqualified Lionel Messi's squad from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. This outcome has sparked comparisons among fans between the Argentine star's performance against his former team and Cristiano Ronaldo's showings against his past clubs.

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami were knocked out of the Club World Cup Round of 16 by European champion Paris Saint-Germain in dominant fashion 4-0 on Sunday. It was PSG’s third clean sheet in its last four matches.

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano conceded that despite his team’s improbable undefeated run through the group stage, they were outclassed by their Parisian opponents, who move on to the quarterfinals to play Bayern Munich, which beat Flamengo 4-2 at Hard Rock Stadium Sunday later afternoon.
