🌍 PSG-Inter Miami: a resounding 4-0, the stats behind the dominance 📊 | OneFootball

PSG literally dominated the field against Inter Miami: a 4-0 win in the Club World Cup Round of 16 that leaves no room for doubt.

A match that can be summed up with some very clear numbers.

📊 PSG overwhelms Inter Miami: the stats from the 4-0

There was no contest in the match: PSG opened the scoring with Joao Neves, who netted a brace, followed by goals from Barcola and Ugarte. PSG's dominance is evident in the statistics: in the first 45 minutes, the French side scored 4 goals, while Inter Miami completed only 3 passes in the attacking third.

The shots were 10 to 0 (6 to 0 on target), goal chances 6 to 0, touches in the box 26 to 0, and ball possession 73% to 27%. The American team was completely overwhelmed, unable to create a single noteworthy offensive action in the first half.

🤩 Vitinha and Joao Neves: masters of the midfield

Outstanding performance by Vitinha, PSG’s playmaker and engine: 132 touches, 117 completed passes out of 122, 38 in the attacking third, 9 accurate long balls, 8 possessions recovered, 4 chances created, and 1 assist. He is the player with the most completed passes in the tournament (470) and a 94% accuracy rate.

Alongside him, Joao Neves shone, decisive with a brace. The young Portuguese talent finished the match with 54 successful passes out of 57, 3 out of 3 long balls, and 2 out of 2 duels won: a veteran’s performance.

👎 Messi, absent in the 1st half and only a few flashes

Lionel Messi remained on the fringes of the game for most of the match, especially in the first half, where he was practically absent. In the second half, he tried to rally his teammates, but without success. He had 2 shots on target blocked and lost possession 9 times. He completed 31 of 35 passes (89%), created only one great chance with a beautiful assist, but it was missed by Suarez. The Flea also won only 3 of the 6 duels he faced. A contribution far too limited to trouble a PSG in total control.
