PSG players are now fixed on their fate. A few hours after ensuring the first place of their group, synonymous with qualification for the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, thanks to their success against Seattle (2-0), the Parisians learned on the plane leading them to Atlanta the identity of their opponent in the next round.
The European champions will be entitled to an unprecedented and particular confrontation with more than one title against the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi, second in his hen after being held in check by the Brazilians of Palmeiras on the night of Monday to Tuesday (2-2). The meeting will take place on Sunday June 29 (6 p.m., noon local time) on the lawn of the superb Mercedes-Benz Stadium d’Atlanta.
“He has already won many titles …”
This 8th finals between PSG and the American training will give rise to a highly anticipated reunion between the Outleple Ballon d’Or and the club of the capital, of which he wore the jersey for two seasons, from 2021 to 2023. The Argentinian will also recover the road to his former coach Luis Enrique that he rubbed between 2014 and 2017 at FC Barcelona and with which he won a League Champions. Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba, ex-players of Barça, also appear in Miami’s workforce, while Javier Mascherano is the coach.
Asked about this possible opposition, Gianluigi Donnarumma was rather seduced by this poster and the fact of finding his former partner. “I lived two years here (at PSG) with him, two fantastic years where we played with the greatest player in the world. But now I hope we’re going to win because he has already won many titles. I hope we will win and arrive until the end, ”explained the Italian goalkeeper.
This meeting will also allow David Beckham, owner of Inter Miami, to find his former team, where he evolved from February to May 2013 and ended his career.
