Messi eliminated from Club World Cup after PSG ‘destroys’ Inter Miami (VIDEO)
Paris Saint-Germain put on a commanding performance to dismantle Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, cruising to a 4-0 victory in the Club World Cup round of 16 and ending their tournament hopes.
Joao Neves was the star of the evening, scoring twice as the reigning European champions cruised to victory at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
PSG went into the break with a commanding four-goal lead, thanks to Neves’ brace, a strike from Achraf Hakimi, and an unfortunate own goal from Inter Miami. The French giants now shift focus to their upcoming quarterfinal showdown, set to pit them against the winner of the Bayern Munich vs. Flamengo encounter.
Inter Miami’s shot-stopper, Oscar Ustari, endured a demanding night with six saves, while PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma faced a relatively quiet outing, called into action just three times.
Remarkably, Miami failed to register a single shot until beyond the 50-minute mark. The clash also held personal significance, marking Lionel Messi’s first meeting with former side PSG since his Stateside switch two years ago.
PSG wasted no time making an impact, with Désiré Doué earning a free-kick on the edge of the Miami box within minutes.
Vitinha delivered the ball into the box, where Neves met it with a sharp header that found the net, leaving Ustari no chance.
Miami’s defensive woes worsened when Noah Allen was forced off through injury in the 19th minute. Tomas Avilés wasted no time announcing himself, picking up a yellow card moments after coming on for a reckless tackle on Nuno Mendes.
The pressure from PSG never relented. In the 39th minute, Fabian Ruiz intercepted a loose pass from Sergio Busquets and initiated a quick attacking move that ended with Neves calmly slotting in his second goal from the center of the box.
Just minutes later, PSG extended their lead further. A cross into the Miami box was accidentally deflected into the net by Aviles, who had a nightmare introduction to the match. Before halftime, Hakimi added a fourth.
After receiving a pass from Bradley Barcola, the Moroccan’s initial shot was deflected by Ustari and bounced off the crossbar, but he reacted quickly to bury the rebound.
Inter Miami’s first glimpse of attacking threat came in the second half when Messi had a deflected effort over the bar in the 51st minute.
Soon after, he set up Luis Suarez with a promising chance, but the Uruguayan mishit the ball, visibly frustrated as he kicked a water bottle in response.
In the 63rd minute, Messi directed a low, glancing header toward goal, but Donnarumma, alert and unfazed, calmly smothered the effort.
Another chance followed later in the match, with Donnarumma once again called into action to keep his clean sheet intact — his third of the tournament.
After the final whistle, Neves reflected on his standout performance. “This is the first time I’ve scored twice in a single match, so I’m really pleased. But more importantly, we won,” he told DAZN. “We’re confident, and we’ll stick to our style no matter the opponent. “We’re exhausted now, but we’ll bounce back before the next match.”
Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano didn’t shy away from admitting the disparity in levels, conceding, “We were well aware this was going to be a massive challenge.” PSG are probably the best team in the world right now,” he said. “But in the second half, we tried to play with more purpose and show what we’re capable of.”

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer
Andre Onana could remain in Turkey beyond his loan spell, with Trabzonspor keen to secure him on a permanent deal.
The 30-year-old moved to Trabzonspor after falling out of favour at Manchester United, who brought in Senne Lammens last summer. Since then, Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice keeper, paving the way for Onana’s temporary switch.
In Turkey, however, Onana has rediscovered his form and quickly become a key figure. He recently grabbed attention with a standout performance in the Turkish Cup, saving three consecutive penalties to help his side overcome Samsunspor and reach the semi-finals.
The moment sparked widespread reactions online, especially from United supporters recalling their earlier penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town, where Onana managed just one save.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has openly expressed the club’s desire to keep the goalkeeper. He indicated that while Onana has his own career plans, the club would be eager to make the move permanent if the circumstances align, leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.
Back in England, United are expected to consider selling Onana, particularly with Lammens now firmly established as their number one. The club will likely aim to recover a significant portion of the £47.5 million they paid to sign him from Inter Milan in 2023, with two years still remaining on his contract.
Beyond his cup heroics, Onana has been a consistent presence in the league, starting every match for Trabzonspor and playing a vital role in their push for the title. His performances have earned strong praise in Turkey, with the club currently sitting third in the table, just six points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Man City place Arsenal ‘bottles’ for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider
Manchester City appear to have kicked off the psychological battle ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal.
In the build-up to the match, bottles branded with the Arsenal logo were reportedly being sold outside the stadium, priced cheaply and seemingly intended as a tongue-in-cheek way for home fans to mock the visiting supporters.
The stunt draws inspiration from a recent viral moment at Stamford Bridge, where a City fan was seen jokingly “drinking Arsenal tears” during their emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea—a clip that quickly spread across social media.
With tensions already high given the importance of the fixture, the gesture adds another layer to the rivalry between the two sides. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be focused on responding where it matters most—on the pitch—as they aim to silence critics and deliver a strong result in what could be a defining game in the title race.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism from his former Manchester United teammates following Chelsea’s latest Premier League setback.
A first-half goal from Matheus Cunha secured a narrow but important win for United, strengthening the position of Michael Carrick’s side in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to struggle, with the defeat marking their fourth consecutive league loss without finding the net.
Pressure is mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior, who only took charge a few months ago after replacing Enzo Maresca. While the club has not publicly wavered in its support, questions are beginning to emerge over several players, including Garnacho, whose performances have failed to meet expectations since his £40 million move from Old Trafford.
Reports suggest Chelsea could be open to offers for the 21-year-old after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge. He had an early opportunity to impress against his former side after coming on for the injured Estevao, but once again struggled to make an impact, finding it hard to break through a United defence that was missing several first-choice centre-backs.

Garnacho also received a hostile reception from United supporters during the match, and the reaction appeared to carry over beyond the pitch. After the game, Luke Shaw shared an image on social media showing himself standing over Garnacho following a challenge. Bruno Fernandes responded with a playful but pointed comment, while former teammate Alex Telles also joined in with reactions.
Chelsea’s broader struggles are becoming increasingly concerning. They now sit four points behind Liverpool in the race for fifth place, despite having played an extra game. The current run—four straight league defeats without scoring—is their worst in nearly three decades, with an even longer drought not seen since 1912.

Across all competitions, the form is equally worrying, with six losses in their last seven matches and 16 goals conceded during that stretch. A significant portion of their recent goals have come in a single outing against Port Vale, highlighting their lack of consistency in front of goal.
After the match, Rosenior admitted uncertainty about what failing to qualify for the Champions League could mean for his future. He acknowledged the result was difficult to take, especially given that Chelsea created numerous chances but failed to convert them. He pointed out that United capitalised on a limited opportunity, while his side were unable to make their attacking pressure count.
Despite the frustration, Rosenior emphasized the need for continued effort and improvement, insisting that the team must find a way to turn their form around before the situation worsens further.
