Messi's team suffered a humiliating defeat, PSG strongly advanced to the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup

(NLDO) – The former Barcelona stars including Messi, Suarez, Busquets, and Jordi Alba could not prevent European champions PSG from crushing Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16.

The match between PSG and Inter Miami in the 1/8 round of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, USA) is highly anticipated by fans when Lionel Messi faces his old team in the new Inter Miami shirt.

However, the team representing the American professional league MLS was quickly defeated by the overwhelming strength of the reigning European champions.

The big match between PSG and Inter Miami is awaited by fans

It took PSG just 6 minutes to open the scoring through João Neves after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's free kick.

The goal helped PSG play with excitement and dominate the entire game while Inter Miami did not create any truly remarkable attacking situations despite having the duo Lionel Messi - Luis Suarez in attack.

Joao Neves opened the scoring in the 6th minute

What had to happen, happened… In just a few minutes at the end of the first half, PSG scored three more goals thanks to Joao Neves (39'), Achraf Hakimi (45+3') and an own goal by defender Tomas Aviles (44').

Entering the second half, Messi showed his role, the mobility and delicate touches of the Argentine superstar put PSG's goal in danger many times.

Unfortunately, Luis Suarez was too slow when facing the French team's defense. In the whole match, Inter Miami only had 25 passes in the opponent's field, compared to more than 250 of PSG.

Luis Suarez ineffective, Inter Miami lost miserably

The victory helped PSG extend their winning streak under coach Luis Enrique. The French capital team is looking forward to a historic season after winning the treble (Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League).

Coach Luis Enrique said: "The match was almost decided in the first half. The players showed great spirit and concentration."

PSG won the ticket to the quarter-finals

Meanwhile, Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano admitted: "We learned a lot from this match. PSG is a world- class team, and that is what young players need to experience."

Lionel Messi failed when facing his old team PSG

João Neves – a 19-year-old Portuguese player – was voted Man of the Match, and also became the youngest player to score a brace at the FIFA Club World Cup since 2011.

With this victory, PSG will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals on July 5 in Atlanta.
