Pre-match review PSG vs Inter Miami
Inter Miami lost the top spot in Group A to Palmeiras in the last minute, and had to face PSG in the round of 16. This was a very special match, because it was the first time Lionel Messi had met PSG since leaving in 2023. The problem was that it was not a good farewell. In recent interviews, the Argentine striker admitted that he had never felt happy in Paris.
Of course, Messi doesn't have to prove anything to PSG. The 38-year-old has won everything in his career and is enjoying playing for Inter Miami. However, fans still have high expectations for Messi and hope that he will make things difficult for his former club. This task is not simple, because PSG is currently the strongest team in Europe. Under coach Luis Enrique, PSG has shown an eye-catching and highly effective attacking style. They are almost unstoppable. Even when PSG lost 0-1 to Botafogo in the group stage, no one underestimated this club, especially when their number 1 "spearhead" Dembele could return in this match.

Inter Miami relies too much on Messi |
In all respects, Inter Miami cannot be compared to PSG. The American club is like a retirement home for the stars who have passed their prime in Europe, with Alba, Busquets, Messi and Suarez… The remaining players are less famous. According to transfermarkt, the total value of Inter Miami’s squad is only 66.18 euros, while PSG’s is 1 billion euros. PSG owns 7 players whose value is higher than Inter Miami’s entire squad.
This is also the reason why the Opta Supercomputer rates PSG as superior. In 10,000 simulations of this match, PSG won 80.3% of the time in 90 minutes, while Inter Miami's chance of winning was only 16.8%.
Messi has been excellent in the group stage, but his opponents are not at the same level as PSG. The 38-year-old's efforts alone will not be enough to make a difference against the French giants, especially when their defence is so poor. The American club have only conceded three goals so far, but they have allowed a total of 47 shots on goal. Ustari's excellent form has been crucial in helping Inter Miami progress, but it will be difficult to expect the 38-year-old to continue to stand firm against PSG's elite strikers.
Expected lineup PSG vs Inter Miami
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, F. Ruiz; Doue, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
Inter Miami: Ustari; Weigandt, Falcon, Avilés, Alba; Busquets, Redondo, Segovia; Messi, Suárez, Allende
Score prediction: PSG 3-1 Inter Miami
