FIFA Club World Cup PSG Vs Inter Miami Preview:
Lionel Messi facing PSG? Yeah, go ahead and circle that date in permanent marker, Sunday, June 29, 2025. It’s going down at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and it’s got all the spice you’d want in a blockbuster summer showdown.
Messi vs PSG: The Sequel We Didn’t Know We Needed
Let’s not kid ourselves, this isn’t just another friendly. This is Messi, the former PSG man, squaring off against the club he once (almost) called home. Now rocking pink with Inter Miami, the Argentine icon is still pulling strings like a grandmaster. He was electric in the group stage, especially in that 2-1 win over Porto, which turned more heads than a Cristiano celebration in a Madrid derby.
Now, he’s up against the reigning Champions League winners. PSG, remember, have been an absolute fortress at the back lately. Just one goal conceded in their last five matches and that too in a scrappy 1-0 against Botafogo. Their defense has been tighter than a last-minute VAR call, with an expected goals against of just 0.52 per game over their last seven. Yep, elite-level stinginess.
Flashback to 2017: PSG’s Worst Nightmare?
But here’s a tasty stat to chew on: PSG’s joint-heaviest defeat in Europe (yes, that 6-1 vs Barcelona in 2017) came at the hands of a trio that’s now rocking up in Miami, Messi, Suárez, and Busquets. Even manager Javier Mascherano was on that legendary Barça squad. That night still gives PSG nightmares. Could Atlanta be the sequel?
Goals Galore Incoming? Bet On It
This fixture is screaming GOALS. Inter Miami don’t exactly do 0-0s. Nine of their last 12 games have seen at least three goals. Only once have they gone under two. PSG? They’ve been feasting, bagging over three goals in five of their last seven, and most recently demolishing Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final.
In short: This is not the time to go refill your popcorn. Blink and you’ll miss a goal.
Predicted Lineups PSG vs Inter Miami:
