The Club World Cup could soon offer a blockbuster showdown: PSG facing Inter Miami and Lionel Messi in the round of 16. A clash full of history, star power… and unfinished business.
The scenario is very real: If PSG finish top of Group B — a likely outcome after their strong start — and if Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami secure second place in Group A, the two teams would collide in the first knockout round.
That would set the stage for a global spectacle: the Qatari-owned European powerhouse versus the American club powered by aging legends.
A revenge match in disguise
This would be more than a football match — it would be a storyline. Lionel Messi facing his former club, where he spent two rocky seasons, leaving behind some tension and pointed remarks. For PSG, it’s a chance to make a statement on the pitch against their ex-superstar.
Beyond Messi, the tactical contrast would be fascinating. Luis Enrique’s high-energy, possession-based PSG would go toe-to-toe with the experience and flair of Messi, Busquets and Alba. It’s youth versus wisdom — and maybe, just maybe, revenge served cold by Paris.
