Inter Miami upsets all predictions

Messi scores a masterpiece at FIFA Club World Cup Early morning on June 20, Messi shined to help Inter Miami defeat Porto 2-1 at FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

The 2-1 victory over Porto in the early morning of June 20 opened the door for Lionel Messi and his teammates to continue. After 2 matches, Inter Miami is ranked 2nd in Group A with 4 points, equal to Palmeiras, but behind due to an inferior goal difference. In the final round, these 2 clubs will directly face each other.

At that time, Inter Miami and Palmeiras only needed a draw to advance to the round of 16. Before the tournament started, Inter Miami received a lot of skepticism. They were rated the lowest among the teams in the CONCACAF region.

Last October, FIFA caused controversy when it announced Inter Miami's ticket to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. David Beckham's team only won the Supporters' Shield (the overall champion of the regular season, including both the Eastern and Western Conferences).

In the final playoff stage, Inter Miami disappointed when they were eliminated by Atlanta United. Inter Miami also had an unimpressive start to the 2025 season. Compared to Al Ahly (Africa's most successful team), Palmeiras (Brazil's top team) or Porto (Portuguese football giant), Inter Miami is considered much weaker.

However, Inter Miami has been the best team in CONCACAF so far. The Seattle Sounders, another MLS representative, lost both matches and are almost eliminated. Since the start of the tournament, except for Inter Miami, the other four representatives of CONCACAF have drawn and lost.

Inter Miami was the only bright spot, while Seattle Sounders, LAFC, and Pachuca (Mexico) all lost. Another Mexican representative, Monterrey, had a courageous 1-1 draw with Inter Milan, but their chances of advancing are still very low.

With the exception of Inter Miami, the remaining four CONCACAF teams will have to work very hard in the upcoming matches if they want to continue. Clearly, Beckham's team is proving that they are not "underdogs" in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, and deserve to participate in this tournament.
