Inside Inter Miami: Messi vs. PSG on tap as club advances in FIFA Club World Cup
Inter Miami continues to take its fans on a rollercoaster of emotions.
After entering the FIFA Club World Cup on a terrible funk in recent weeks, Miami has flipped the momentum so far with a historic win over FC Porto last week and nearly beating Brazilian powerhouse Palmeiras to advance to the Round of 16.
We look at what these performances mean for Inter Miami and analyze their matches so far as they prepare to face a monstrous opponent in Paris St.-Germain in their first match of the knockout stage.
We discuss Telasco Segovia’s big goal, later Lionel Messi’s signature free kick score, which led to the victory, and the setback of losing Ian Fray to injury in that game.
And we look at Tadeo Allende’s breakaway goal off an assist from Luis Suarez, who continues to defy expectations at his age.
We have reactions from Suarez and Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano about the impact of their performance on the club and Major League Soccer as a whole in the eyes of the world.
And we preview the huge matchup against star-studded PSG, Lionel Messi’s former team and its coach, Luis Enrique, the former FC Barcelona coach, who had a huge influence on him and several other Inter Miami stars.
And we look at the Club World Cup overall so far in terms of attendance, atmosphere, and the performance of South American teams with interesting comments from Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany.
