Inter Miami faces tough challenge against PSG in Club World Cup

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami face a major challenge in the Round of 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup — they must confront Paris Saint-Germain.

Los Garzas qualified as Group A runners-up, but now must face last season’s Champions League winners. PSG — who claimed the Champions League title with a commanding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Munich final — stands as the most feared opponent for teams from the Americas.

This matchup holds special significance for Messi — PSG is his former club where he spent two challenging seasons. Meanwhile, Inter Miami has made history as the first CONCACAF team to advance to this stage.
