Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) cruised into the Club World Cup quarterfinals on Sunday with a resounding 4–0 win over Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.European champions PSG dominated right from the start, dismantling a Miami side headlined by ageing stars like Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. Joao Neves scored a brace, Achraf Hakimi added another, and a Tomas Aviles own goal compounded Miami’s woes in front of 66,000 fans, most cheering for the Argentine icon.— FIFACWC (@FIFACWC) Neves opened the scoring in the sixth minute, heading home unmarked from a Vitinha free-kick after Marcelo Weigandt’s foul on Desire Doue. Miami held on briefly, but PSG struck three more times in a 10-minute first-half blitz. Live EventsA rare error from Busquets led to Neves’ second, Doue forced an own goal from Aviles, and Hakimi slammed in a rebound to seal the result before halftime.— FIFACWC (@FIFACWC) Despite the lopsided contest, Messi remained the crowd's focus. He showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, setting up Suarez with a clever chip and testing Gianluigi Donnarumma, but Miami never looked like mounting a comeback. Frustration spilled over as Messi clashed with Vitinha late in the first half.PSG now advance to a high-stakes quarterfinal clash on Saturday in Atlanta, where they will face Bayern Munich, who crushed Flamengo 4-2 in another last-16 clash.(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel)
