Ibrahimovic defends Messi after Inter Miami thrashed by PSG in Club World Cup

AC Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic spoke about Inter Miami’s heavy defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) — the Champions League winners secured a 0-4 victory in the Round of 16 match of the 2025 Club World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta.

All PSG goals came in the first half — Joao Neves scored two consecutive goals before Tomas Aviles scored an own goal in the 44th minute, and Achraf Hakimi completed the scoring spree in injury time.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes The Herons’ defeat was not Lionel Messi’s fault — the former Swedish national team striker actually saw La Pulga as the standout player in the match.
