Luis Suarez believes comparisons to Lionel Messi could be detrimental to the career of 18-year-old forward Estevao, who has been dubbed "Little Messi".

Many fans saw Lionel Messi's jersey swap with Estevao during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as a symbolic passing of the torch in elite soccer.

Inter Miami held a 2-0 lead before the Brazilian side equalized in the final stages, resulting in a 2-2 draw and a second-place finish in Group A of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

After surrendering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Palmeiras, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami finished second in Group A and will face PSG in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Palmeiras, Botafogo, Flamengo, and Fluminense are leading their respective groups, ahead of European teams, after two rounds of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
