PSG Dominates Inter Miami in FIFA Club World Cup Showdown
Atlanta, GA – In a thrilling encounter at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) showcased their dominance with a resounding 4-0 victory over Inter Miami in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The match saw João Neves shine with two goals, while Achraf Hakimi added to Miami’s woes just before halftime.
PSG wasted no time, taking the lead within the first five minutes. Neves rose high to head the ball into the net, setting the tone for a match that would see the French giants completely outclass their MLS opponents. Despite the presence of Lionel Messi, who faced his former club, Inter Miami struggled to find their footing.
Messi, who had a rocky two-year spell at PSG, was unable to influence the game significantly. His frustration was palpable as Miami went into halftime trailing 4-0, with an own goal from Aviles compounding their misery.
Inter Miami, the only MLS club to reach the knockout stage, had previously stunned the football world by defeating Porto in the group stage. However, they found themselves overwhelmed by PSG’s relentless attack. Coach Javier Mascherano acknowledged the challenge, stating, "We are levels below the French giants, but we will fight."
The second half saw a slight resurgence from Miami, with Messi attempting to create opportunities. However, PSG maintained control, and despite some promising moments, Miami failed to find the back of the net.
As the final whistle blew, PSG secured their place in the quarter-finals, leaving Inter Miami to reflect on a match that highlighted the vast gulf in quality between the two teams. The victory not only solidifies PSG’s status as a global powerhouse but also raises questions about Inter Miami’s ability to compete at the highest level.
With this emphatic win, PSG continues their quest for international glory, while Inter Miami will need to regroup and reassess as they look to build on their recent improvements in the MLS.
