Lionel Messi left shell-shocked as Inter Miami THUMPED by old team PSG in front of owner David Beckham at Club World Cup
LIONEL MESSI was left shell-shocked in front of Inter Miami owner David Beckham at the Club World Cup. Messi saw himself 4-0 down at half-time against his former side Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. 2 Joao Neves scored the first two goals, heading home unmarked inside six minutes before finishing off a lovely team move in the 39th minute. And Inter Miami's naive hopes of a miracle were soon dashed when Tomas Aviles' own goal saw the MLS side capitulate on the stroke of half-time. Meanwhile, Achraf Hakimi piled on the misery in the third minute of first-half injury time. As the Moroccan full-back, widely regarded as the best in the world in his position was celebrating, Messi looked up to the scoreboard in complete disbelief. And while Beckham was celebrating his former club's Champions League win in Germany last month, he looked more stern during the battering while wearing his arm in a sling. The Argentine footie legend, 38, was sent a brutal warning by the French press ahead of his reunion with PSG. French newspaper L'Equipe plastered a picture of Messi on the front page with the tagline: "Messi… not all is forgiven." The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner left PSG in 2023 on a free transfer once his contract in the French capital expired. 2 During his time with the club, he formed one-third of the exciting attacking trio alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. But, he wasn't a fan favourite in France, as PSG failed to secure the Champions League trophy despite having the most prolific front three in Europe. He caused further upset in the country as he played a crucial role in France 's World Cup heartbreak in 2022.
