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.

The Herons attacked and defended admirably for 80 minutes as Luis Suárez and Tadeo Allende had them in front for a majority of the game. Palmeiras fought back to score two late goals and secure their spot atop the group with an exciting Libertadores clash against Botafogo up next.

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.
