Lionel Messi and Inter Miami exit Club World Cup after 4-0 loss to PSG in round of 16
ATLANTA (AP) — The champions of Europe booted Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates out of the Club World Cup on Sunday. Paris Saint-Germain, Messi's former club and the team that won the Champions League final only a few weeks ago, contained one of the game's greatest players at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and routed Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16. Defensive struggles again plagued Miami with all four of PSG's goals coming before halftime. An early injury to defender Noah Allen contributed to then team's problems, while goalkeeper Oscar Ustari continued to excel. Offensively, Messi and his forward line spent the majority of the first half in their own half. The second-half performance improved, but the team appeared to be overly reliant on a moment of Messi magic to help them advance. Inter Miami was the only Major League Soccer team to advance to the expanded tournament's knockout round. The team defied expectations with a 2-1 victory over Portuguese club FC Porto, which was heavily favored going into the match. That performance caught the attention of soccer fans around the world as Miami became the first MLS team to beat a European club in an official competition. Messi exits the tournament with a perfect record of group stage advancement. The Argentine has never been eliminated in the group stage of an official tournament, whether playing for a club or his Argentina national team. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Despite Sunday's loss, Miami's tournament play showed many positives as the team prepares to return to its MLS schedule. Besides the win over Porto, Miami also drew with Brazilian club Palmeiras, a team that advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition on Saturday. Miami is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with an 8-3-5 record, 11 points behind first-place Philadelphia Union. Last season, Miami won the MLS Supporters' Shield for the league's best regular-season record. ___ AP soccer:

Montreal beats New York City FC 1-0 on Victor Loturi's goal to net first home win
New York City FC goalie Tomas Romero stops CF Montreal's Prince Owusu advance on net during second half MLS action In Montreal, Saturday, June 28, 2025. (Peter McCabe/The Canadian Press) Victor Loturi scored in the 23rd minute and Montreal won its first home game this season in nine attempts with a 1-0 victory over New York City FC on Saturday night. Montreal (3-12-5) completed the season sweep over New York (8-7-4) for the first time ever. Dante Sealy found himself isolated with a defender on the right side of the 18-yard box and he sent in a powerful shot that was spilled to Loturi for a one-touch finish. It was Loturi's first goal for the club. Montreal had two other good opportunities to double the lead in the second half. Luca Petrasso was left unmarked in front of the goal following a corner kick, but he was unable to control the bouncing ball. Moments later, Jules-Anthony Vilsaint was denied by a fingertip save from Tomas Romero. Jonathan Sirois secured his fourth clean sheet of the season. Montreal will face Inter Miami on July 5 if the Florida side is eliminated from the Club World Cup. This report by The Associated Press was first published on June 28, 2025.
