Paris Saint-Germain showed no mercy as they defeated Inter Miami 4-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. All four goals came in a dominant first half: João Neves scored twice (6’ and 39’), Tomás Avilés netted an own goal (44’), and Achraf Hakimi sealed the scoreline (45’).
Messi’s farewell to the tournament
Lionel Messi, Inter Miami’s captain, played the full 90 minutes against his former club. At 38, the Argentine legend showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, including a powerful header saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma and a stunning volleyed pass that nearly led to a goal by Luis Suárez.
Messi exits the tournament with one goal and one assist from the group stage and was applauded by over 65,000 fans in attendance.
PSG’s dominance from start to finish
Under Luis Enrique, PSG controlled 67% of possession and pressed high throughout the match. João Neves was the standout performer, while Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia orchestrated the midfield with precision. Inter Miami, coached by Javier Mascherano, failed to register a shot on target in the first half.
