Paris Saint-Germain showcased why they’re considered Europe’s premier club with a ruthless 4-0 win over Inter Miami at the FIFA Club World Cup, setting the tone for more silverware.
Joao Neves stole the show, netting a brace that opened and doubled PSG’s lead inside the first 39 minutes. The midfield dynamo’s header off a free kick and a composed finish underlined his growing influence on the global stage.
The Parisians built on their season-long momentum—tallying a 10-0 goal difference across three wins since arriving in the United States—despite a narrow group-stage loss to Botafogo.
PSG coach Luis Enrique, via interpreter, praised his squad’s ambition: "This is a historic season for us. We intend to continue making history with this competition," he said, underlining the team’s hunger for international trophies.
Inter Miami, led by eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi and faced with the daunting task of containing a star-studded PSG lineup, struggled to find their rhythm. An own goal by Tomas Aviles and a stoppage-time strike from Achraf Hakimi completed the rout.
Next up for PSG are quarterfinals opponents Bayern Munich, who secured their spot by overcoming Flamengo 4-2. The showdown in Atlanta on Saturday promises a high-stakes battle between two modern powerhouses.
With depth, experience, and a clear vision, PSG is firing on all cylinders—and the football world is watching as they push for global supremacy.
