Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami are set for a marquee Round of 16 showdown at the Club World Cup in Atlanta, with Lionel Messi preparing to face his former club for the first time since leaving Europe.
PSG, fresh off a historic quadruple including their maiden UEFA Champions League title, bounced back from a shock loss to Botafogo with a convincing 2-0 win over Seattle.
Luis Enrique’s side is stacked with elite talent, but will be without injured Ballon d’Or contender Ousmane Dembélé, making this a slightly less predictable affair.
Inter Miami, meanwhile, are riding a wave of history and belief after becoming the first MLS team to advance past the group stage in this format.
With Messi’s trademark free-kick winner against Porto still echoing, the Herons enter unbeaten, battle-tested, and fueled by belief. But they’ll need a near-flawless outing to topple PSG’s powerhouse. If Messi can conjure up another iconic performance, Miami might just pull off the upset of the tournament.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.

PSG vs. Inter Miami predicted lineups, team news
PSG are expected to stick with their strongest available lineup after a convincing win over Seattle, with Luis Enrique aiming for consistency as the knockout rounds begin.
However, star winger Ousmane Dembélé remains a doubt due to a lingering thigh injury, meaning PSG’s attacking fluidity may rely more heavily on the likes of Vitinha and Achraf Hakimi to step up in wide areas.
PSG predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes — Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz — Doue, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.
Injured: Dembele
Suspended: None.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami is dealing with several injury setbacks heading into their clash with the reigning European champions. Goalkeeper Drake Callender and defenders Gonzalo Lujan and Yannick Bright are ruled out with injuries, while David Ruiz is sidelined with a hamstring issue.
Ian Fray is also a doubt due to a groin strain, leaving Lionel Messi and his teammates needing to compensate for a shorthanded backline against one of the most dangerous attacks in the tournament.
Inter Miami XI (4-4-2, right to left): Ustari (GK) — Weigandt, Aviles, Falcon, Allen — Allende, Redondo, Busquets, Segovia — Messi, Suarez.
Injured: Callender, Lujan, Bright, Ruiz, Fray
Suspended: None.
