Lionel Messi faces a reunion with his former club Paris Saint-Germain after his Inter Miami side reached the Round-of-16 of the Club World Cup with a 2-2 draw against Palmeiras on Monday. 

Goals from Tadeo Allende (16th minute) and Luis Suarez (65th) put Miami on course for victory. But the Brazilian side struck twice in the last 10 minutes through Paulinho (80th min) and Mauricio (87th min) to make sure of their place in the next round. Few expected Miami to make it out of the group, but they now face the European champions.

For Messi, the tie in Atlanta will see him face his old club for the first time since leaving them in 2023.
