PSG 4-0 Inter Miami, FIFA Club World Cup: Neves Leads Parisians' Thrashing Of Messi And Co

Joao Neves scored a pair of goals for Paris Saint-Germain and the world’s best team overwhelmed one of the game’s greatest players, embarrassing Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16 at the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday (June 29, 2025). With Messi facing the team where he spent two seasons before moving to Major League Soccer in the twilight of his stellar career, the European champions quickly erased the Herons’ hopes of pulling off a monumental upset before a crowd of 65,574 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. PSG will face Bayern Munich, who beat Flamengo 4-2, in the quarter-finals.
