Lionel Messi endured a sobering night against his former club as Paris Saint-Germain handed Inter Miami a brutal 4–0 defeat, knocking the last American side out of the FIFA Club World Cup in emphatic fashion.
Lionel Messi endured a sobering night against his former club as Paris Saint-Germain handed Inter Miami a brutal 4–0 defeat, knocking the last American side out of the FIFA Club World Cup in emphatic fashion.
Facing a PSG side firing on all cylinders, Inter Miami looked outclassed from the first whistle. It took just five minutes for Joao Neves to find the net, sneaking in unmarked at the back post to give the Parisians an early lead.
Neves then doubled the advantage shortly afterward as the French champions relentlessly pressed their MLS opponents. Further goals from Achraf Hakimi and a Tomas Avila own goal put the contest beyond doubt before halftime, leaving Messi and his teammates shell-shocked.
With the result already sealed, PSG eased off in the second half, giving Messi flashes of opportunity to threaten. Still, Gianluigi Donnarumma stood firm to preserve his clean sheet as PSG cruised into the Club World Cup quarter-finals with a powerful statement win.
Messi’s dream of inspiring Inter Miami to global glory has been halted — at least for this year — by the ruthless efficiency of the French champions, who reminded the Argentine legend of the gulf in quality separating European and MLS sides on the world stage.
