Lionel Messi, Inter Miami Make History Against Porto originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Although Lionel Messi has won more trophies than any other player in soccer history, he continues to break new ground with his Major League Soccer club, Inter Miami CF.

Even with Messi, arguably the face of the tournament, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium was under half-full at kick-off, hamstrung by another 3pm kick-off on a working day as it was for Chelsea's opener at the venue.

It is day six at the 2025 Club World Cup and we are entering the second round of group games as Inter Miami face FC Porto. Both teams are in search of a first win at the tournament after all four teams in Group A shared draws in the first round of fixtures.
