In the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup, Miami International team had a highly anticipated showdown with the new Champions League champion Paris Saint-European Champions League champion. In the end, Paris defeated his opponent with a 4-0 performance and successfully advanced to the semi-finals, and will face Bayern in the next game. Although the game ended the Club World Cup tournament of the King of Football Messi, at the age of 38, he still showed unyielding fighting spirit, and the data also proved that he did not choose to admit defeat.

Miami International team performed well in the group stage, achieving an unbeaten record of 1 win and 2 draws, and advanced as the second in the group. There is no doubt that the most dazzling player on the team is Messi. Even though he has reached the end of his career, his offensive performance is still sharp, and his lightness and smoothness in breakthroughs are still commendable. It is precisely because of Messi's leadership that Miami International was able to enter the knockout stage.

As the new Champions League champion, Paris Saint-European team encountered an unexpected upset in the group stage, but they still advanced smoothly and regarded this Club World Cup as an excellent opportunity to strive for the championship. So, in the knockout round, Paris will obviously tighten its attention and go all out.

Although he has Messi, the king of football, Miami International cannot rely entirely on him. There is a significant gap in value between the two teams. Paris is worth as much as 1 billion euros, while Miami International is only 66 million euros. This difference clearly reflects the strength comparison between the two sides. In addition, Messi's playing style and characteristics have long been thoroughly studied by Paris.

Paris Saint-Ergemain's head coach Enrique was once the coach of Barcelona. He knew Messi very well and there were several Messi's former Barcelona teammates in the team. Therefore, when facing Miami International, they have already gained the lead by just by effectively limiting Messi. This situation sparked a general expectation of fans that Paris would win easily before the game, and the development of the game really confirmed this. After the opening of the game, Neves helped Paris break the deadlock with a penalty kick. Then the Miami International team led by Messi fell into an extremely passive state and fell behind 0-4 at the end of the first half. Neves scored twice again, adding another goal for Paris. In the following second half, although Paris slowed down its offensive rhythm, Miami International still failed to seize the rare opportunity and finally bid farewell to the Club World Cup with a 0-4 defeat.

The audience attracted a total of 65,574 spectators to cheer, especially many local fans hope to see Messi lead Miami to continue moving forward. However, facing the powerful Paris Saint-Ergemain, Miami International team obviously cannot resist it. It is worth mentioning that Messi has scored 6 goals in the Club World Cup. Although the gap with Cristiano Ronaldo is not far from 7, due to his age, Messi may not be able to participate in the next Club World Cup.

However, although Miami suffered a heavy blow in this game, Messi's data was quite efficient. He made 4 shots in the game, two of which were accurately hit the target, and successfully completed two outs, with outstanding performance. It is undeniable that Messi did not admit defeat because of his defeat. Even though he was already 4 goals behind in the first half of the game, he still strives to compete for every ball. Obviously, the King of Football just temporarily lost to time.
