Messi has a chance to play in the 2025 Club World Cup

Lionel Messi still has an option to play in the 2025 Club World Cup with Inter Miami. David Beckham's side will have to win the CONCACAF Champions Cup title to book their place in the tournament.

Miami are in the round of 16, awaiting the second leg of the play-offs. Their opponents are Nashville, who also play in MLS, and the result of the first leg was a 2-2 draw.

First, Inter Miami must advance to the quarter-finals in a very close match at the moment. Then, along the way, they could face big Mexican clubs such as Monterrey and America.

There are only four places reserved for CONCACAF teams to go to this championship. These are divided among the last four CONCACAF Champions Cup winners, so Leon (Mexico), Seattle Sounders (USA) and Monterrey (Mexico) already have their tickets.
