Argentinian star Lionel Messi is preparing to face his former club Paris Saint-Germain next Sunday, in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup, in a highly anticipated match that is expected to capture the attention of football fans around the world.

Messi had faced boos from Paris fans during his last season with the Parisian team, in a tense atmosphere that overshadowed his experience there, before later admitting that he was not happy at the Paris club.

Messi said last February: "I was not happy with the training sessions and matches at Paris Saint-Germain, it was difficult for me to adapt to everything".

The upcoming match between PSG and Inter Miami carries a special significance, not only because it is a clash between Messi and his former team, but also because it takes place in a global tournament, where the eyes of fans and media will be focused on this exceptional encounter.

Messi moved to Inter Miami in 2023 on a free transfer after leaving PSG, noting that his contract with the American club ends next December.
