At times, Lionel Messi has singlehandedly carried Inter Miami to victory. Against the European champions PSG, the Herons needed more than that.

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano conceded that despite his team’s improbable undefeated run through the group stage, they were outclassed by their Parisian opponents, who move on to the quarterfinals to play Bayern Munich, which beat Flamengo 4-2 at Hard Rock Stadium Sunday later afternoon.

Inter Miami CF left-back Jordi Alba said the team lived up to the expectations of the Club World Cup despite falling 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 to be eliminated from the competition.
