FIFA Club World Cup R016: PSG vs Inter Miami live match time, streaming
Paris Saint-Germain make history as the first French club to feature at the FIFA Club World Cup and will take on Inter Miami in the Round of 16 on June 29 at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. PSG arrive as newly crowned European champions, topping Group B despite a 1-0 loss to Botafogo. Key wins over Atlético Madrid (4-0) and Seattle Sounders (2-0) showed Luis Enrique's side is building momentum. Inter Miami, meanwhile, surprised many by advancing from Group A. After a goalless draw with Al Ahly and a dramatic 2-1 win over Porto, they were moments away from topping the group before Palmeiras fought back for a 2-2 draw. With Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets leading the way, Miami will look to pull off a major upset. Despite Miami's firepower, PSG enter as clear favourites and are expected to progress to the quarter-finals, where Flamengo or Bayern Munich await. Paris Saint-Germain are preparing for their next pre-season match in Atlanta with a largely settled line-up. Ousmane Dembélé, yet to feature due to a hamstring injury, has resumed training and may play limited minutes. Luis Enrique must decide between Gonçalo Ramos, Senny Mayulu or Bradley Barcola to lead the attack. The rest of the team is expected to remain unchanged after rotation in the Botafogo loss backfired. Lucas Hernández, Lucas Beraldo and Warren Zaïre-Emery were among those brought in for that game. Additionally, Marquinhos, João Neves and Fabián Ruiz are each one yellow card away from suspension. Inter Miami head into their upcoming match against PSG with injury concerns, as head coach Javier Mascherano remains without key players including goalkeeper Drake Callender, Gonzalo Luján, David Ruíz and Yannick Bright. Jordi Alba, who returned for a brief cameo against Palmeiras, appeared far from match-fit and is unlikely to start. Mascherano may opt for an unchanged line-up, with Federico Redondo continuing alongside Sergio Busquets in midfield ahead of Benjamín Cremaschi. Up front, Luis Suárez remains the biggest threat, having netted six goals in five Club World Cup matches and boasting four goals in five career outings against PSG. PSG vs Inter Miami Starting 11: PSG Starting 11 (probable): Donnarumma (GK), Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, F. Ruiz, Doue, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia Inter Miami Starting 11 (probable): Ustari (GK), Weigandt, Avilés, Falcón, Allen, Allende, Redondo, Busquets, Segovia, Messi, Suárez FIFA Club World Cup R016: PSG vs Inter Miami Live Telecast and Streaming Details When will the FIFA Club World Cup R016 match between PSG and Inter Miami be played?

Suárez defies age and dodgy knees to set up PSG clash dripping in narrative
In December 2023, shortly before signing for Grêmio, Luis Suárez warned that his footballing days were numbered. His right knee had become so painful, following a Covid-affected rehabilitation from surgery in 2020, that he could barely walk. 'In my last stage of recovery, the pandemic came and I had to do exercises on my own and I couldn't finish stretching my knee,' he told Uruguayan media. 'On the inside I have cartilage wear and that hits the bone. The days before each game I take three pills and hours before playing I get an injection. If not, I can't play. Hence the limp. I have to think that in maybe five years I won't be able to play five-a-side football with my friends. The truth is that the first steps in the morning are very painful. Anyone who sees me thinks that it is impossible for me to play a game. My son asks me to play with him and I can't.' Suárez has always been a divisive figure throughout his storied career, with incidents that have wildly swung between the sublime and the repugnant, but most – excluding David Luiz, the nation of Ghana, Patrice Evra, Branislav Ivanovic, Giorgio Chiellini (11 years to the day!) and Norwich City – will agree that it is a good and remarkable thing that the striker is still playing football. Just how he is doing so for Inter Miami, 18 months on from his above comments, is baffling, particularly as 38-year-old Suárez is not only just hacking it around with his friends or his son, but still scoring absolute worldies on the biggest club stage of all [subs, pls check]: the Copa Gianni. Just in case you didn't stay up until 2am (BST) to watch Inter Miami 2-2 Palmeiras, Suárez rolled back the years in putting the MLS side 2-0 up, beating two men with a wily turn, sending Palmeiras centre-back Bruno Fuchs to the shops with a textbook chop, before El Pistolero fired brilliantly into the top bins with his 'weaker' left foot. Whatever you might think about Suárez, the Copa Gianni in general or the notion that Inter Miami should even be at the tournament, it was a goal for the ages and one that ultimately secured Miami's passage to the knockouts. Miami's reward for coming through the group stage, or punishment for allowing Palmeiras to draw 2-2 and top the group, is a last-16 meeting with PSG, the rampant Bigger Cup champions who probably don't need extra motivation to play well at the moment. But Lionel Messi's acrimonious 2023 departure from the French club (where the Argentinian later admitted he 'wasn't happy on a daily basis') and the heavy presence of four other former Barcelona players in Miami's squad – manager Javier Mascherano, Suárez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, who all took part in La Remontada, the 6-1 (6-5 agg) Big Cup comeback, and PSG's most infamous defeat – means Sunday's match is one that is now dripping in narrative. That current PSG boss Luis Enrique was manager of Barça that night at Camp Nou only adds to the intrigue. 'We'll be facing the [Bigger Cup] champions and we will have to try and take our chances,' yelped Suárez after his heroics against Palmeiras. 'Luis Enrique has seen many players and he influenced me a lot. I already had a competitive DNA but he made me even more competitive.' Slightly less helpfully, Mascherano was a little more forthright: '[PSG] are probably better than us, but in football you never know.' Spine-tingling stuff, Javier! So, while that rhetoric doesn't quite match the pre-battle war-cries from Braveheart, Any Given Sunday and 300, Mascherano, Messi, Suárez, Alba and Busquets will have one more shot at toppling the elite. One would think they don't have a hope against the might of PSG, but then we didn't think Suárez would be kicking a football at all in 2025, and you only need to check last night's highlights to see how that theory panned out. It is almost impossible to train or to make a session because of the weather. This morning's session has been very, very, very short. Tomorrow will be our 60th game of the season. The ones who had international games had even more' – Enzo Maresca wipes his brow before trying to express the difficulty and danger involved in organising Chelsea sessions with shattered players in egg-frying 41C heat at Copa Gianni. Dear Football Daily, the assertion that Jude and Jobe Bellingham became the first brothers to score in the same tournament (yesterday's Football Daily) is untrue. I expect there may be other examples, but Frank and Ronald de Boer both scored for the Netherlands in Euro 2000' – Thomas Lovegrove. I'm sceptical about this weird Copa Gianni but some of the matchups have been entertaining. My favourite goalkeeper so far is Botafogo's. While Atlético Madrid busied themselves writing their 'Dear John' farewell letter to the tournament, he came off his line to steamroller an opponent and a teammate before punching the ball away, recovered to block the follow-up shot from point-blank range, tossed the dead ball behind his back, beyond the reach of an incensed opponent, then theatrically threw himself to the ground when said incensed player bumped him. Dear John, never change' – Peter Oh. The trailer for the new film about Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy at the 2002 World Cup, with someone who looks nothing like Roy Keane and someone else (Steve Coogan) who looks nothing like Mick McCarthy, appears to be as rubbish as you might expect. It won't beat the lowest grossing film in US history obviously' – Noble Francis. Please send your letters to Today's winner of our prizeless letter o' the day competition is … Peter Oh.

Damning words, but I'm correct in saying them' – Shelbourne boss Damien Duff tears into his players and demands more commitment from them after a 1-0 loss to Derry. 22 June: 'Damien informed the club this morning that, after much thought, he has made the decision to resign. He shared the news with the players earlier today' – Duff reveals his own level of commitment by seeing himself through the door marked Do One amid links with a position on the coaching staff with Brentford.

PSG boss Luis Enrique is hopping mad at the state of the turf at Seattle Lumen Field after his side's 2-0 win over Seattle Sounders.

'I wouldn't imagine a NBA court full of holes … it used to be artificial turf and now it is natural grass and they have to water it by hand – they did so at half-time but the field was dry again in 10 minutes.' Atlético Madrid players will be delighted/gutted after being knocked out of Copa Gianni despite beating Botafogo 1-0 to finish Group A with two wins. 'Getting six points in the group was not bad,' sniffed Diego Simeone. 'But we were doomed by the [4-0 shellacking] against PSG.' Heartthrob Edwards has been busy with the razor before checking in at Middlesbrough on a three-year-deal. 'It felt instantly that this was right for me and it got me excited,' he cooed.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Miami, PSG through to last 16; Atletico crash out
The final round of group-stage action in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup delivered high drama, late goals, and heartbreak for Atlético Madrid, who were ousted from the competition despite a valiant win over South American champions Botafogo. Group A: Palmeiras & Inter Miami Secure Knockouts After 2-2 Thriller At a packed Hard Rock Stadium, Palmeiras mounted a late comeback to hold Inter Miami to a 2-2 draw, a result that sent both teams into the Round of 16. With both clubs entering the clash level on four points, a point apiece was enough to guarantee progression. Miami raced to a 2-0 lead thanks to Tadeo Allende's early strike and a clinical finish by veteran Luis Suárez in the 65th minute. However, the Brazilian giants clawed their way back through Paulinho's goal in the 80th minute before Mauricio leveled the match just three minutes from time. Lionel Messi, celebrating the eve of his 39th birthday, couldn't find the net despite several chances and chants from the Miami crowd. He was visibly frustrated after Palmeiras' late equalizer. Palmeiras topped Group A and will now face Botafogo in an all-Brazilian Round of 16 clash, while Inter Miami are set to take on Group B winners Paris Saint-Germain in Atlanta. Group B: PSG Top Group, Seattle Eliminated Despite Strong Effort Paris Saint-Germain ensured their place in the knockout rounds with a commanding 2-0 win over the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field, silencing the American side's dreams of advancing. Vitinha's deflected effort off Khvicha Kvaratskhelia broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, while Achraf Hakimi doubled the advantage in the second half following a slick move that exposed Seattle's transition defense. Despite the scoreline, Seattle had their moments, including the emotional return of local hero Jordan Morris, who received a warm ovation after stepping onto the pitch for the first time since April. PSG topped the group on goal difference, edging out Botafogo and Atlético Madrid, who all finished with six points. The French giants now turn their attention to a high-profile clash with Inter Miami. Atlético Madrid Crash Out Despite Late Griezmann Heroics Atlético Madrid's campaign ended in heartbreak after their 1-0 win over Botafogo wasn't enough to see them through. Antoine Griezmann scored in the 87th minute off a fine assist from Julián Álvarez, but with a -1 goal difference due to their 4-0 thrashing by PSG in the opener, Diego Simeone's side bowed out of the tournament. Botafogo, despite being outshot 23-7, showed defensive grit and poise under pressure, with goalkeeper John making several key saves to keep the Spanish side at bay. The Brazilian outfit finished second in Group B and face Palmeiras next. Atlético had early penalty shouts waved away and multiple near misses but couldn't find the decisive second goal. The early blowout loss ultimately sealed their fate in what was widely regarded as the tournament's most competitive group. Round of 16 Matchups Confirmed Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami (Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta) Palmeiras vs Botafogo (Location TBA) As the Club World Cup heads into the knockout stage, the storylines are rich: Messi facing his former club PSG, an all-Brazilian heavyweight duel, and European dominance meeting North and South American flair. With the world's eyes fixed on this expanded Club World Cup, the next phase promises more fireworks and unforgettable moments.
