**Messi to Face Former Club PSG in FIFA Club World Cup Clash**

**ATLANTA, UNITED STATES** – Lionel Messi is set for a highly anticipated reunion with his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, as Inter Miami faces the European champions in the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16. The match, scheduled for Sunday, June 30th, at 12pm (16:00 GMT) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, promises a compelling narrative of past loyalties, recent regrets, and the chance for Messi to settle a score.

PSG, fresh off their first-ever Champions League title and under the guidance of former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, will clash with an Inter Miami squad featuring a heavy contingent of former Barcelona stars, including Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets, all now coached by Javier Mascherano, another familiar face from Enrique’s Barcelona days.

The match is not without its intriguing storylines. Miami’s veteran players were part of Barcelona’s historic “Remontada” against PSG in 2017. Furthermore, Messi’s tenure at PSG, while statistically successful, was marked by turbulence and, according to the Argentinian superstar, a lack of enjoyment. He seeks to prove a point against a PSG squad that failed to conquer Europe with him but has since achieved the feat with a new generation of talent like Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, and Vitinha.

PSG, despite a recent group stage loss to Botafogo, enters the match as favorites. Inter Miami finished second in their group.

For Miami coach Mascherano, this game is a special opportunity to go up against Enrique: “It will be an honour for me facing a great coach, one of the greatest I’ve had in my career,” said Mascherano of Luis Enrique.

Al Jazeera Sport will provide comprehensive pre-match coverage starting at 9am local (13:00 GMT).
