Messi s birthday night black for 7 minutes! The cooked duck flew, 16 tough striking Paris

9:40am, 28 June 2025Football

On Messi's 38th birthday, Miami International took on an important stage and could have celebrated his birthday with a brilliant victory. However, the variables on the football field are always unexpected. Under the 2-0 lead, they encountered a strong counterattack from Palmeiras in the last 7 minutes of the game, and finally ended the game with a 2-2 draw, losing the long-awaited victory. The scene of Messi shaking his head helplessly after the game became a true portrayal of this dramatic event. In the first 60 minutes of the

game, Miami International's performance was impeccable. Allende scored a wonderful goal in the 16th minute and Suarez's rapid "tornado" shot in the 64th minute, steadily established a 2-0 lead for the team, and it seemed that the victory was decided. However, the charm of football lies in its unpredictability. Just when everyone thought the game would end with this score, Palmeiras found a flaw in the 80th minute, and Paulinho pushed the game to a tense climax and smashed Miami International's dream of victory with Mauricio's header in the 87th minute.

In just 7 minutes, Miami International, which originally had a firm control of the game, fell into a passive position due to its slack defense, exposing the problem of insufficient concentration while leading. The defensive chaos in the final stage even made fans sigh: "How come this team is like a team with Messi!"

This game is of great significance to Messi. It is not only a commemoration of his 38th birthday, but also his first time to compete in the Club World Cup as the captain of Miami International. Although he failed to celebrate this special moment with victory, Messi's performance on the court was still impressive, participating in the offense many times and almost rewriting the score with a long shot. However, as a team sport, even with the joining of a superstar like Messi, Miami International still cannot escape the fate of being reversed.

It is worth mentioning that Messi has successfully scored a direct free kick (versus Porto) in this Club World Cup, and his experience and leadership skills are still an important pillar of the team's progress. But facing the upcoming strong rival Paris Saint-Germain, Messi's personal ability alone is obviously not enough.

Despite a draw with Palmeiras, Miami International still advanced to the top 16 as second in the group. The next opponent is the new Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain. For the American League team, this is tantamount to "just escaping from the wolf's den and falling into the tiger's den."

Paris Saint-Germain is crowded with top attackers such as Mbappe and Dembele, and its overall strength is far superior to Miami International. However, there have never been a classic battles in football history where the weak counterattack the strong. If Miami International can learn from the lessons of this draw and strengthen its defensive resilience, it may also usher in unexpected surprises. After all, under Messi's leadership, anything can happen.

After experiencing the twists and turns from 2-0 to being tied in the end, Miami International paid the price for its young lineup. But today's advance to the top 16 is a breakthrough. The next challenge against Paris Saint-Germain, no matter what the result is, will be a valuable exercise and a test for the team. As for whether Messi can lead Miami International to create miracles in the face of Paris Saint-Germain, or whether this American League team's Club World Cup journey is about to end, we will give us the answer in the future.
