It was also a 0-4 loss against Paris, but Messi created an opportunity of > Real Madrid also took the lead in possession of the ball

In the 2025 Club World Cup knockout round, Paris played 4-0 against Miami International (8th final) and Real Madrid (semi-finals). Therefore, many fans reviewed and compared the performance of the two defeated players in Paris. They were not sure about it. They were shocked. Facing the new Champions League champion Paris, Real Madrid's performance was not as good as Miami International.

ESPN specially wrote an article to analyze and compare the difference between Miami International and Real Madrid, the same 0-4 loss to Paris! ESPN wrote:

Miami International vs Paris possession rate is 33.4%> Real Madrid vs Paris possession rate is 31.9%

Messi created one opportunity once> Real Madrid's 0 opportunities

This shows that Miami International still has a chance to score against Paris. Messi's wonderful pass, but unfortunately Suarez is old and unable to grasp it; while Real Madrid is in a passive state against Paris, the whole team cannot create an opportunity, the defenders cannot defend and give gifts, the midfielder cannot hold the ball, and the forward cannot get the ball, a real "tragedy".

ESPN This article seems to be belittling Real Madrid, but in fact it is a song about Messi. Miami International's strength is definitely not as strong as Real Madrid, but due to the existence of the football king Messi, Miami International has become infinite possibilities. That time, creating opportunities was Messi's masterpiece. Unfortunately, Messi is already 38 years old, and any superstar can hardly compete with age. Miami International's forwards and defenders are indeed a little bit worse.
