Something that has never happened in Messi's career

After more than 1,100 matches in his career, Leo has just faced an old team in an official tournament.

Inter Miami advanced after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Palmeiras, finishing second in Group A with an unbeaten record. This is a historic moment for Inter Miami. They become the only representative from MLS to advance to the knockout stage. Lionel Messi will face his former club PSG at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Before the match, PSG defender Achraf Hakimi shared: "It's great to see Messi again. There have been many great moments. On the pitch, there are no friends. He will try to win, and so will we. We will try to advance to the next round."

Meanwhile, Inter Miami defender Jordi Alba said: "I'm proud of the team, and now we're going to face a strong team like PSG. For me, they're playing the best football in Europe, and of course, it's a very difficult game, but we're not worried. This is football, and it's only 90 minutes, why not dream about beating the European champions? We'll see how far we can go."

PSG is Messi's former team in the 2021-2023 period. The Argentine superstar was expected to help the Ligue 1 club win the Champions League for the first time in history. But after 2 seasons, PSG were eliminated in the round of 16.

During his time in Paris, Messi won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina. But upon returning to the club, Leo criticized the Ligue 1 champions, saying he did not receive the recognition he deserved despite winning the world's biggest title.
