PSG vs Inter Miami 2025 Highlights, PSG 4‑0 Rout—João Neves Shines with Stunning Brace, Hakimi Adds Dazzling Goal
PSG vs Inter Miami 2025 (4‑0) Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated why it is a strong contender for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 when it comprehensively thumped Inter Miami 4-0 in Atlanta. The match betrayed a stark class difference between the two sides, with PSG in complete command of proceedings all through the game, with Lionel Messi and his team unable to do anything about it.
First-Half Dominance
PSG did not have to wait too long. They went in front in just six minutes through an astutely headed goal off a free kick from João Neves. That proved to be an omen of things to come. Inter Miami’s defense was nervous and confused throughout.
Neves found his name on the scoresheet again before halftime. After a brilliant team move involving Bradley Barcola and Fabián Ruiz, Neves netted his second of the night to make it 2-0. Miami simply could not handle PSG’s speed and talent.
It all went downhill when Tomás Avilés unknowingly sent the ball into his own net, giving PSG a 3-0 lead. On the verge of halftime, Achraf Hakimi buried in the fourth goal with a rebound to complete first-half demolition.
PSG Better than Inter Miami
PSG controlled for most of the game with confidence. By maintaining possession through their midfield of Vitinha and Neves, chances were constantly created. On the flanks, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was always a thorn in the opposition’s side, and Miami’s defense could not cope with the pace of Hakimi.
Coach Luis Enrique praised his team after the game. He said, “We were nearly perfect. We controlled the match, created chances, and showed the correct spirit.”
Inter Miami, Outplayed and Outclassed
This was set to be a special evening for Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi, but neither could have much impact. Messi spent a subdued first half with little contact with the ball and was not uncommonly found to be isolated with PSG players around him. He broke out of his shell for a few seconds in the latter period when he produced a save from Gianluigi Donnarumma but it came too late.
Suárez had one opportunity in the first few minutes of the second half but couldn’t even manage to get a shot away, evidence of his anger being that he kicked a water bottle. Inter Miami just couldn’t cope with the pressure and pace of a world-class team.
Coach Javier Mascherano said later, “You could see the difference in class today. PSG are probably the best team in the world.”
Neves Shines Brightest This Evening
Unquestionably, Man of the Match of the night was João Neves. The young midfielder found the net with two beautifully taken goals and totally dominated proceedings around midfield. After the game, Neves said, “It was a first time for me to score two goals in one game, but what’s most important for now is that we won. We will stick to our game regardless of whoever our next game’s opponent is.”
His leadership, motivation, and goal-getting proved that PSG are strong in every position, and it has nothing to do with winning tournaments with just one star or even two.
What’s Next for PSG?
PSG have booked their place in the quarterfinals with this win, in which they will face Bayern Munich, who won Flamengo later that afternoon. That will be a genuine meeting of European titans and a real test for both.
PSG vs Inter Miami 2025, Conclusion
PSG’s 4-0 win over Inter Miami was a footballing masterclass. With Neves’ brilliant goals to Hakimi’s forays down the wing, it was all coming together for French champions. And Messi’s Miami simply weren’t used to this level of competitive football. Although their against-all-odds journey to the knockout stage has come to an end, it’s all over for the Herons’ Club World Cup hopes. This game was evidence of how far MLS clubs have to come to keep pace with Europe’s best. It’s business as usual for PSG—and with this momentum, they look to hoist the trophy.
