The Herons are the first MLS team to reach the Club World Cup knockout rounds, and now they'll look to progress against a Group B winner that's fresh off a historic treble – one including Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League titles.

The PSG vs. Miami winner reaches the quarterfinals on July 5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, moving closer to the July 13 final at MetLife Stadium.

Additional tournament wins net teams more of the unprecedented $1 billion prize pool, as well as global notoriety in the expanded tournament featuring 32 teams from six confederations.

Group A runner-up: 1W-0L-2D (5 points)

The Herons gained momentum throughout Group A, ultimately becoming the first-ever MLS team to reach the Club World Cup knockout rounds.

After goalkeeper Óscar Ustari was the hero in a 0-0 draw with Al Ahly, a Lionel Messi trademark free kick sealed a 2-1 comeback win over FC Porto. The latter result made Miami the first Concacaf (and MLS) team to beat a European side in an official competition.

Up against Palmeiras in a pivotal Group A finale, Luis SuĂ¡rez and Tadeo Allende scored in a 2-2 draw to keep this magical run going for head coach Javier Mascherano's team.

Now, Messi gets a PSG reunion after spending 2021-23 at the historic French club. Following that stint, the iconic No. 10 made his transformative move to Miami.

Group B winner: 2W-1L-0D (6 points)

PSG have already dispatched one MLS team, overpowering Seattle in a 2-0 win at Lumen Field. Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Achraf Hakimi sealed first place in Group B.

That victory marked a return to business as usual for PSG, who controlled their match vs. Botafogo but couldn't solve the reigning Brasileiro Série A and Copa Libertadores champions in a 1-0 defeat.

Head coach Luis Enrique's side made a statement of intent in their opening contest, soaring to a 4-0 triumph over fellow European powerhouse AtlĂ©tico Madrid. In that match, midfielders FabiĂ¡n Ruiz and Vitinha got on the scoresheet.

PSG have played without star forward Ousmane Dembélé, who's recovering from a hamstring injury. He is among the favorites to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or award.
