In a dramatic twist of fate, Lionel Messi is set to face his former club Paris Saint-Germain after Inter Miami secured qualification to the next round of the tournament following a tense 2-2 draw with Brazilian giants Palmeiras. The result was enough for both sides to progress from their group, setting up a mouthwatering clash between the MLS outfit and the French champions.

Messi, who spent two seasons at PSG before making the headline-grabbing move to Miami, will now lead his team into a high-stakes encounter filled with emotional and competitive subplots. With both clubs boasting star-studded lineups and title aspirations, the upcoming fixture promises fireworks on and off the pitch.

The draw with Palmeiras wasn’t without its nervy moments. Miami took an early lead through Luis Suárez, only for Palmeiras to equalize in the second half with a well-placed strike from Rony. The draw sees Inter Miami finish second in the group, with Palmeiras topping the table on goal difference.

All eyes will now turn to Messi’s return to Paris – this time not as a fan favorite but as a formidable opponent. With knockout football looming and revenge or redemption on the line, the upcoming clash could prove to be one of the most talked-about matches of the season.
