On June 30, in a highly watched Club World Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain defeated host Miami International 4-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals. In this game, Paris Saint-Germain, which has the advantage in overall strength, did not give his opponent too many opportunities. Neves scored two consecutive goals on the offensive end and released all the firepower, Douai made an own goal, and Ashraf scored and helped the team secure the victory. After the game, netizens left messages. "This result is OK, exceeding expectations!" "Messi is still like a god, but unfortunately his teammates are too bad." It is worth mentioning that Ibrahimovic, who watched the game on the spot, defended Messi. He said Messi did not lose, losing is not his reason, Miami International is the loser!

Previous in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain relied on its luxurious lineup and strong offensive firepower to reach the finals, and defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the championship and runner-up battle, achieving three consecutive championships in the season. In this Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain is in Group B, and its opponents in the same group are the traditional Spanish team Atletico Madrid, Brazilian giant Bottafogo and host Seattle Gulf. In the first game, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 and made a good start.

But in the second round of the match against Botafogo, they lost the game. In the last round against the Seattle Bayerman, Paris Saint-Germain returned to its state and won 2-0, and advanced to the top spot in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss. Many fans pointed out that Paris Saint-Germain was able to advance mainly due to its strong overall strength, but the players' condition was obviously not at its best. In the 1/8 final, Paris Saint-Germain's opponent is Miami International Group A. Led by Messi and Suarez, Miami International was not optimistic before the game and achieved an unbeaten record of 1 win and 2 draws in the group stage, successfully standing out from Group A.

For this game, Messi's showdown with his old club has also attracted much attention. Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 and played for Paris Saint-Germain for two seasons. According to statistics, Messi scored 32 goals for the Ligue 1 giants and helped the team win the Ligue 1 and Super Cup championships. Although he failed to help Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League, Messi's performance during the team is still remarkable. This time, Messi and Dembele's head-on confrontation is also quite eye-catching.

In this game, Paris Saint-Germain's starters include Donnarumma, Ashraf, Mendes, Pacho, Vitinia, Neves, Kvarats Helia and Balcola. Miami International is led by Messi, and Alba, Falken, Trasco, Busquets and Suarez all start.

In the first half, Vitinia assisted Neves, who seized the opportunity to help the team open the first record. In the 39th minute, Neves scored twice, and Paris Saint-Germain led 2-0. Since then, Paris Saint-Germain has firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. After an own goal, Ashraf scored in stoppage time, thus helping the team secure the victory 4-0.
