PSG thrash Inter Miami, Lionel Messi out of the Club World Cup | OneFootball

PSG has qualified for the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The spot was secured on Sunday (29) with a thrashing of Inter Miami in Atlanta.

Lionel Messi's team bids farewell to the competition after a performance in which they were dominated by the European champions.

PSG controlled the actions for most of the time and was already winning 4-0 at halftime.

In the quarterfinals, the French team will face the winner of the duel between Flamengo and Bayern Munich, which also takes place on Sunday.

The game

The score was opened in Atlanta just five minutes into the game, on a free kick that found João Neves free to head the ball into the second post.

Inter Miami was dominated during the first half, but managed to keep the deficit to just one goal for most of the time.

However, from the 38th minute on, the French victory began to turn into a thrashing.

João Neves scored his second goal of the match, and soon after Aviles (own goal) and Hakimi made it 4-0.

In the second half, PSG took their foot off the accelerator, and Inter Miami found spaces to threaten, with some brilliant moments from Messi.

Despite both teams creating good opportunities, the score was not moved again.

Luis Enrique took advantage of the thrashing to bring Ousmane Dembélé onto the field. The striker had been recovering from an injury in recent weeks.
