Messi kept quiet as Inter Miami crash out of CWC after 4-0 defeat to PSG
Inter Miami have been eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup, suffering a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16.
The French champions dominated from the start at Camping World Stadium, opening their account within five minutes when Joao Neves headed home unmarked at the far post.
Neves doubled his tally later in the half after a costly mistake from Sergio Busquets allowed PSG to launch a quick counterattack.
A Tomas Aviles own goal and a close-range finish from Achraf Hakimi sealed the result before halftime, leaving Inter Miami with a mountain too steep to climb.
Lionel Messi, facing his former club, was kept quiet for most of the match and saw limited impact despite a late effort saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
PSG controlled possession throughout, exposing the defensive fragility of Javier Mascherano’s side.
Inter Miami had advanced from the group stage in unexpected fashion, but their campaign ended in convincing fashion as PSG booked their place in the quarter-finals.
