Luis Enrique: Beating Messi's Miami ‘harder than it looked' despite PSG rout
ATLANTA, June 30 — Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said defeating Lionel Messi and Inter Miami on Sunday was trickier than it seemed despite the French side's 4-0 Club World Cup last 16 triumph. Joao Neves' early strike sent PSG ahead and then they scored three more in a flurry before half-time to take an unassailable lead. Former PSG and Barcelona star Messi impressed in the second half as Miami battled well but could not find a way through. 'It is difficult to play against players of this calibre, it was difficult, but I think as a team we did an excellent job,' Luis Enrique told reporters. 'There's a visible difference between the first and second halves... their quality is evident, and I think we deserved the victory. 'It was harder than it may seem, after the first half.' The Spanish coach said his PSG team, who won the Champions League, Ligue 1 and the French Cup to claim their first ever treble, are in spectacular form and are hoping to triumph in the United States. 'Clearly, we are experiencing a historic season for our club, we aim to go far in this competition,' continued Luis Enrique. 'We are in the quarter-finals, with only eight teams remaining. Our goal is to progress as far as possible and to compete for the trophy. But for that, we need to overcome two more knock-out rounds. 'The season is very long, as it is for all teams, but the motivation to be competitive is there.' PSG winger Ousmane Dembele said he was 'glad to see' Messi and his former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Javier Mascherano. 'Leo is a unique person, to share a game with him was magnificent, I was a kid watching his magic on the television, so it's unique,' said PSG defender Lucas Beraldo. 'Reality' hits Inter Miami coach Mascherano said he was pleased with his team's performance at the tournament despite their eventual thrashing by PSG. 'We achieved the goal we had set for ourselves, we were very aware that we could compete up to a certain level, and today reality has shown that,' Mascherano told reporters. 'I am very proud of my players, of the work they did in the competition (...) we tried to show in each match what we could do. The gap is what it is, but I am very proud of them.' Mascherano said his Argentine compatriot Messi was able to show his quality despite the defeat. 'I think Leo played a great game, within the options we had. In the second half, we found him much more. In the first half, we couldn't due to Paris's pressure,' said the coach. 'They slowed their tempo in the second half, and we were able to show what we usually do in MLS (Major League Soccer).' Despite PSG being arguably the best team in the world at the moment, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was filled with Inter Miami shirts, mostly with eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi's number 10 on the back. 'PSG is in great form, champions of everything, but people still pay for a ticket to see Leo Messi, even at 38 years old,' added Mascherano. — AFP

French soccer union blasts Club World Cup over 'massacre' of player welfare
Article content Last September, Manchester City midfielder Rodri suffered a severe knee injury soon after saying players were close to going on strike over excessive workloads. No rest for PSG Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain is one of the biggest sides involved in the Club World Cup. After winning the Champions League on May 31, key PSG players like Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue played for France and then went to the United States soon after for the Club World Cup. Some French clubs have already resumed training for the upcoming Ligue 1 season, which begins mid-August, while others start next week. PSG was not able to push back its start to the Ligue 1 season. RECOMMENDED VIDEO 'We don't see how or why the Parisians should not benefit from the three weeks of complete rest they are entitled to,' the UNFP said, adding that the toll of extra games for PSG's players could impact the national team in early September. 'A delay in preparation that must also worry (France coach) Didier Deschamps ahead of two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup. What do you say, Mr. Infantino?' FIFA hopes the event will be to club soccer what the World Cup is to international soccer and establish itself as one of the biggest and wealthiest tournaments in sport. The old version of the Club World Cup, which was played yearly, was dominated by European teams in recent times. Only Brazilian team Corinthians broke Europe's winning run in 17 years.

Lionel Messi is consoled by Ousmane Dembele and other former team-mates after Inter Miami crash out of the Club World Cup in PSG thrashing
Lionel Messi was consoled by former team-mate Ousmane Dembele and a host of other familiar faces after his Inter Miami side were thrashed 4-0 by Paris Saint-Germain at the FIFA Club World Cup. Messi — who played alongside Dembele at Barcelona between 2017 and 2021 — played the full 90 minutes on Sunday as his Miami side were outclassed by the reigning European champions. Meanwhile, Dembele entered the action as a 62nd-minute substitute, with his side already four goals ahead following a one-sided first half. Messi looked visibly dejected at times during Sunday's knockout game, but his spirits appeared to be lifted by old pals in the tunnel. PSG boss Luis Enrique — who won nine trophies as Messi's manager at Barcelona between 2014 and 2017 — brought a smile to the 38-year-old's face during a friendly exchange, which included him stroking the player's hair. Messi then shook hands with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Presnel Kimpembe — who were among his team-mates at PSG during his two seasons in Paris. Leo Messi with Luis Enrique, Dembelé, Donnaruma and Kimpembe after the game ❤️🤝🇫🇷 — All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 (@AlbicelesteTalk) June 29, 2025 Later, Messi was seen walking arm in arm with Dembele, before the pair swapped shirts. Dembele then took to Instagram to share a photo of himself proudly posing with the Miami captain's jersey, next to Messi, who was wearing the France winger's PSG top. 'It's so good to see you again,' Dembele wrote as his caption. '@leomessi, the best of all time… I hope you continue making history with him @intermiamicf as in this Club World Cup.' Although Miami are now out of the Club World Cup, they had exceeded many people's expectations by progressing beyond the group phase. Messi and Co qualified from Group A without losing. They drew 0-0 with Al Ahly before beating Porto 2-1. Miami then played out a 2-2 draw with Palmeiras. PSG will now face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals after the German champions beat Flamengo 4-2.
