PSG sets up Inter Miami Round of 16 clash
The French side's journey to the knockout stage was a blend of dominance and unpredictability, opening their campaign with a resounding 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid to send a strong statement to the rest of the tournament.
However, a surprising 1-0 defeat to Brazilian side Botafogo briefly stalled their momentum but the French giants bounced back in style with a composed 2-0 victory over Seattle Sounders.
The victory helped Luis Enrique's men secure the top spot in Group B and a direct ticket to the Round of 16 where they face Lionel Messi's Inter Miami according to MLS Soccer.

Conversely, Inter Miami, led by Messi, faced a tougher road in Group A. A goalless draw with Al Ahly was followed by a hard-fought 2-1 victory over FC Porto.
In their final group stage match, they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Palmeiras to secure second place in the group, and now the stage is set for a dramatic encounter with the Parisians.
