The draw is in — PSG will face Inter Miami in the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup, this Sunday, June 29 at 6 PM (local time) in Atlanta. Yes, you read that right: Messi vs PSG.
After cruising past Seattle (2-0), the Parisians now face a glamorous but tricky opponent. Messi, Suarez, Busquets, Jordi Alba… there’s a strong Barça vibe at Inter Miami, now coached by Mascherano and presided over by David Beckham — both former PSG players. The storylines write themselves.
But this isn’t just a reunion — it’s a revenge match. Since leaving PSG in 2023, Messi hasn’t hidden his frustrations with the club, criticizing a lack of recognition and his strained relationship with the fans.
“I hope we win — Messi has already won everything”
And PSG hasn’t forgotten either. Some players will have a point to prove — on the pitch.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma summed it up: “I spent two great years at PSG with him, playing alongside the greatest. But now, I hope we win — he’s already won everything.”
A showdown full of stars, tension, and history — and with a quarter-final spot on the line, Atlanta is about to heat up.
