Inter Miami superstar Leo Messi was thrilled as his club secured a spot in the Club World Cup playoffs. He shared his excitement with a post on his Instagram page.
Messi published photos from the third matchday of the group stage against Brazil's Palmeiras, adding an emotional caption to the images.
"Although we could have won yesterday, the truth is that we've secured our place in the round of 16, which means a lot to us as a club. Another historic step both for @intermiamicf and for @mls," Leo wrote.
It's worth noting that the match between Inter and Palmeiras ended in a 2-2 draw. The Americans led almost until the final whistle, but let victory slip away in the last ten minutes, conceding two goals.
As a result of the draw, Palmeiras finished top of the group and will now face fellow Brazilians Botafogo in the round of 16. Inter Miami, meanwhile, will have to take on French giants PSG in Atlanta.
