EKO HOT BLOG reports that PSG delivered a clinical performance at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Rising star João Neves led the charge with two first-half goals, while Achraf Hakimi added a third. An own goal by Inter Miami defender Tomás Avilés sealed PSG’s comfortable lead early in the game.
Coach Luis Enrique took advantage of the lead to rotate his squad in the second half, handing Ousmane Dembélé his tournament debut following his return from injury. Inter Miami, despite fielding their top stars including Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, struggled to match PSG’s pace and precision.
The match had a heavy Barcelona influence, with Enrique and Dembélé representing PSG’s past links to the Catalan giants, while Inter Miami’s lineup and manager Javier Mascherano brought together former Barcelona teammates. However, Inter Miami’s experience was not enough to stop PSG’s attacking force.
Flamengo, the 2023 Copa Libertadores champions, remain unbeaten in the competition after impressive performances against Chelsea FC, Espérance de Tunis, and a draw with LAFC. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have shown strength with a historic 10-0 win over Auckland City and a victory over Boca Juniors before losing to Benfica.
PSG’s next match promises to be another blockbuster encounter, whether against Brazil’s Flamengo or Germany’s Bayern Munich. For young talents like João Neves and returning stars like Dembélé, it is another opportunity to make a statement on the global stage.
