Inter Miami’s humbling 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup Round of 16 may have signaled more than just the end of a tournament run... it could mark the beginning of the end for the Messi era in MLS.

Paris Saint-Germain, Messi's former club and the team that won the Champions League final only a few weeks ago, contained one of the game's greatest players at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and routed Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16.
