Right, that concludes this live blog.<\/strong> As always, a big thank you for joining us. The match report will drop in here shortly, as eyes turn towards the Bayern Munich v Flamengo match<\/a> later on.<\/p>\n Paris Saint-Germain march on, and Inter Miami are heading home. Thanks again, peace out. Here is that report via Sid Lowe.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.33 EDT<\/p>\n Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano<\/strong> is speaking to DAZN:<\/p>\n We saw the difference between the teams. We\u2019re very proud of the guys, they worked hard, they tried to play. I think we have to look forward because that was a great experience for us.<\/p>\n We played well during this tournament. We knew today was going to be very difficult as they\u2019re probably the best team in the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n England have thrashed Jamaica 7-0<\/strong> in the women\u2019s international friendly tonight. So not much in the way of competitive or close football to bring you, sadly, as of yet today.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s trophy haul for the year is already quite impressive.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ligue 1 champions, Coupe de France holders, Champions League winners. Will Enrique\u2019s PSG add Club World Cup<\/a> champions to their list of 2024-25 honours? You would struggle to bet against them on current form.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>FT: Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Inter Miami<\/p>\n It\u2019s done and dusted. PSG did the damage in the first half courtesy of Jo\u00e3o Neves\u2019s double, an own goal from Inter Miami\u2019s hapless defender Tom\u00e1s Avil\u00e9s and Achraf Hakimi\u2019s strike. The MLS outfit had little answer to the attacking brilliance and relentless pressing from the Parisians, although they did produce an improved second half showing, albeit with PSG\u2019s feet off the gas somewhat.<\/p>\n Luis Enrique\u2019s side will meet either Flamengo or Bayern Munich in the last eight. Lionel Messi and his Miami teammates have gone out of the Club World Cup<\/a> with a bit of a whimper.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 mins:<\/strong> We\u2019re heading into just two minutes of added time, as PSG open up once more, looking to a fifth to really rub salt into the wounds of Messi and co.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Into the wall from Messi!<\/strong> All that buildup came to nothing\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87 mins:<\/strong> Oooh, Miami have a free-kick 20 yards out, central, slightly to the right. Step forward, Leo.<\/p>\n Lionel Messi fires at goal for Inter Miami. Photograph: Carl Recine\/FIFA\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.54 EDT<\/p>\n 86 mins:<\/strong> Jordi Alba has come more into the game in the second half. He was anonymous as an attacking force in the early stages, pinned back by PSG\u2019s attacking brilliance.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 84 mins:<\/strong> Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 has looked like a player coming back from injury. A pass or two, or three, has gone awry. You wouldn\u2019t expect him to show such sluggishness as this tournament wears on and he regains full fitness.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82 mins:<\/strong> PSG have done a decent job of managing the game, having done more than enough in the first half to build a formidable lead. They\u2019re now in keep-ball mode.<\/p>\n Inter Miami\u2019s tank looks to be emptying fast.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80 mins:<\/strong> And Messi does go close! This time it\u2019s a forceful header that forces Donnarumma into a decent save \u2013 one you\u2019d expect the Italian to make, in fairness.<\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t be shocked if Messi got himself on the scoresheet here.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 mins:<\/strong> As I was putting in that email from K\u00e1ri, Messi got the ball and found Su\u00e1rez with a neat volleyed pass \u2026 it brought nothing more than a corner, though.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n An email<\/strong> from K\u00e1ri Tulinius :<\/p>\n It happens to all footballers, and all the rest of us too, but Messi has resisted so long looking old. But in this match he\u2019s looked old. Mind you, he might well set up two in quick succession and then score a brace to equalise, but I\u2019d be surprised if he did, and that never surprised me before.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 76 mins:<\/strong> I\u2019d be giving the \u2018Superior Player of the Match\u2019 award to Jo\u00e3o Neves, but that\u2019s just me, and for what it\u2019s worth I wouldn\u2019t be naming it \u2018Superior Player of the Match\u2019.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 mins:<\/strong> That\u2019s not a terrible header from Allende after Miami keep it alive down the left and cross it in, but Donnarumma makes a straightforward stop.<\/p>\n Cremaschi is on for Segovia for the Herons.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 mins:<\/strong> Falcon clattered into his own goalkeeper there. Ustari has gone down a few times today, but he seems OK.<\/p>\n He\u2019s probably just sick of picking the ball out of his net.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 mins:<\/strong> PSG now have five players on the pitch who you could classify as wingers:<\/p>\n Barcola, Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, Kvaratskhelia, Dou\u00e9 and Lee. Crazy.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 69 mins:<\/strong> Oh brilliant stuff from PSG, Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 and Barcola involved along with Za\u00efre-Emery and somehow Barcola has skied the finish.<\/p>\n Enrique is going to change his full-backs, with Lucas Hern\u00e1ndez and Lee Kang-In replacing Hakimi and Mendes.<\/p>\n Bradley Barcola fies over the bar! Photograph: Al Bello\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.49 EDT<\/p>\n 67 mins:<\/strong> Kvaratskhelia was in oceans of room there but the pass was a poor one from Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, who ignored the Georgian and couldn\u2019t find Barcola either.<\/p>\n I suspect we\u2019ll get more goals here, both teams seem to have abandoned the midfield region entirely.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 mins:<\/strong> End-to-end stuff now, basketball game territory. Kvaratskhelia toys and feints, teasing a curling right-footed shot off target.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 63 mins:<\/strong> Messi finally gets a shot on goal. That was sharp stuff, picking up a loose ball and eventually unleashing a left-footed effort, but it never had the power to trouble Donnarumma.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 61 mins:<\/strong> We are going to see Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 for half an hour. Now injury-free, he replaces Jo\u00e3o Neves, who won\u2019t get the chance to bag a first career hat-trick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 mins:<\/strong> Messi drives forward, picks out Luis Su\u00e1rez, who is keen to get it back to the Argentine with the cutback from the right, but there are so many PSG players scurrying back that Messi can do little to get a shot away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 59 mins:<\/strong> It looks like PSG have regained that hunger and that Inter Miami\u2019s most promising spell is now at an end. From an American perspective, it was all too brief.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 57 mins:<\/strong> Dou\u00e9 now eyes goal in a more direct way, drilling a low one from distance that Ustari is equal to.<\/p>\n Barcola then goes close, spinning beautiful away from his man but firing over the top, via a touch from the keeper.<\/p>\n Lionel Messi in action with Desire Doue. Photograph: Amanda Perobelli\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.24 EDT<\/p>\n 56 mins:<\/strong> D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9 tries to work his way through another crowd of Inter Miami<\/a> bodies in their box. It doesn\u2019t quite come off, but the French youngster has been electric in this game.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 54 mins:<\/strong> Here come the pink shirts again. Are PSG just going light on their opponents? Hmm, it seems like Miami have upped their intensity. They had to.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve certainly been sharper with their passing tempo.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 mins:<\/strong> The MLS outfit have arguably shown more in the past six minutes than they did all first half.<\/p>\n They have a corner here, earned after Messi\u2019s shot was deflected, but it comes to little.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 50 mins:<\/strong> The crowd want a free-kick as Messi is crowded out by PSG bodies and descend into boos when he doesn\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n Nice for them, I suppose, that he\u2019s had a couple of moments since the resumption.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 mins:<\/strong> The crowd in Atlanta still come alive whenever Messi gets the ball. And wow, the little genius nearly provides a goal for his long-time teammate Luis Su\u00e1rez. A mis-touch from the Uruguayan at the vital moment.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 mins:<\/strong> PSG have begun the second half at walking pace. Insert joke about Messi\u2019s off-the-ball activity.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019re back under way.<\/strong><\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The teams are back out for the second half.<\/strong> Messi is sporting quite a stoic expression, trudging back out slowly for the resumption.<\/p>\n Beraldo and Za\u00efre-Emery are going to get 45 minutes apiece.<\/p>\n Marquinhos and Ruiz are the men taken off.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s 30C, hot, humid and sticky in Atlanta<\/strong> this afternoon, so I wonder whether Luis Enrique will start ringing the changes at half-time, with PSG\u2019s place in the quarter-finals virtually secure already.<\/p>\n How long before this tournament sifts out all the non-European sides? Will we get an all-European semi-final lineup, for example?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n We wondered before kick-off<\/strong> how evident the gulf in class between the recently-crowned European champions and an MLS side packed with former greats would be, and we\u2019ve seen an emphatic answer.<\/p>\n Paris Saint-Germain, both off the ball and on it, have exhibited their superiority. In terms of fitness, skill, tactical awareness and attacking flair. They\u2019ve shown in all in spades and Inter Miami, for whom Lionel Messi has been peripheral to say the least, have been submissive. It\u2019s 4-0 and it could get ugly, this one.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! PSG 4-0 Inter Miami (Hakimi, 45+3)<\/p>\n Goodness me, they\u2019ve scored another!<\/p>\n Hakimi should have buried his first effort there, after Barcola squared it to the Moroccan off the right. His initial shot came off the woodwork, via the goalkeeper but the second was tucked safely away.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s half-time.<\/p>\n Achraf Hakimi makes it four! Photograph: Carl Recine\/FIFA\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.52 EDT<\/p>\n Three added minutes<\/strong> for Inter Miami<\/a> to survive. Oh, and another 45 plus after that of course.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! PSG 3-0 Inter Miami (Avil\u00e9s OG, 44)<\/p>\n The answer is yes! D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9\u2019s cross ends up in the net after more sharp stuff down the PSG right. The final touch came off Fabian Ruiz, though he may not have known much about it.<\/p>\n No, it was an own goal from Tom\u00e1s Avil\u00e9s. What a miserable few minutes he\u2019s had since coming on.<\/p>\n Tomas Aviles puts into his own net for 3-nil to PSG. Photograph: Kai Pfaffenbach\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.48 EDT<\/p>\n 43 mins:<\/strong> More PSG pressure as the first half nears a conclusion. Can they put this firmly to bed?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 40 mins:<\/strong> Is that game over already? It feels like it, the way this game has gone. Inter Miami<\/a> need a miracle. Luckily, they do have a miracle-maker in their ranks \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! PSG 2-0 Inter Miami (Neves, 39)<\/p>\n Walked into the net and Neves has two! Too easy. Nice and unselfish from Fabian Ruiz to square for the Portuguese, who simply could not miss.<\/p>\n Again it came from a fierce Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> press which has overwhelmed Inter Miami throughout the half.<\/p>\n Joao Neves scores the second for PSG. To say this game is a mismatch is an understatement. Photograph: Amanda Perobelli\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.45 EDT<\/p>\n 36 mins:<\/strong> If Inter Miami<\/a> can reach half-time sanctuary with the scoreline still 1-0, I suspect Mascherano and his staff will be delighted. Time for another PSG corner.<\/p>\n\n
