Is Lionel Messi Still Playing in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup?

After a devastating loss of Inter Miami against Paris Saint-Germain with a score of 4-0, Messi’s journey comes to an end.

Despite high hopes and global attention, Messi and his team couldn’t make it past the first knockout stage, marking a disappointing end to their Club World Cup campaign. The Inter Miami standings took a hit following their early elimination, and the exit means fans won’t be seeing more of Messi on the pitch in this year’s tournament.

While he’s out of the running in the competitions, there’s still plenty of action left and you can experience all of them at GoPlay711!

Why is Manchester City Not Part of the Club World Cup 2025?

The three giants of the Premier League failed to be part of the Club World Cup 2025—and unfortunately, Manchester City is one of them.

It is because UEFA’s qualification rules only allowed a maximum of two clubs per country to join the expanded 32-team tournament. Even though City had success in Europe, England’s two Club World Cup slots were already filled by Chelsea and Real Madrid, who qualified by winning the UEFA Champions League in the previous seasons.

City’s strong performances weren’t enough to secure a spot through UEFA’s points-based ranking system either, which served as the backup qualification method.

As a result, despite being one of the top clubs in Europe, Manchester City missed out on the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Fans hoping to see them on the global stage will have to wait for future editions.
