Match Preview: Form Guide and Team News
PSG’s Blazing Form
As European champions, PSG arrive in the Round of 16 eager to secure their first-ever Club World Cup title. Despite a shock 1-0 defeat to Botafogo, Luis Enrique’s men have won seven of their last eight matches, scoring 2+ goals in each victory.
Crucially, PSG’s defence has stepped up, keeping four clean sheets in their last five competitive matches, underlining their balance between flair and discipline.
Key Player:
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been directly involved in half of PSG’s goals so far at this CWC (1 goal, 2 assists) and will be pivotal in unlocking Inter Miami’s defence.
Injuries:
PSG miss Ousmane Dembélé through injury but boast a near-full-strength squad otherwise.
Inter Miami’s Rise
Inter Miami, spearheaded by Messi, Suárez, and Busquets, has shown they’re not just passengers in this tournament. A dramatic 2-1 win over Porto and draws against Al Ahly and Palmeiras mean they enter the knockout stage unbeaten in six (W3, D3), scoring 16 goals in that run.
Key Worry:
Defensively, they remain vulnerable, with only one clean sheet in their last 13 matches across all competitions. They’ve faced 10+ shots in every CWC match so far — a worrying stat against a side like PSG.
Key Player:
Messi has a glittering record vs PSG, with six goals and one assist in nine prior starts, making him Inter Miami’s biggest hope.
Injuries:
Defender Ian Fray is doubtful after picking up a knock in the group stage.
