For the second match in a row, Paris Saint-Germain will take on a Major League Soccer squad that they should defeat. However, the matchup against Inter Miami comes with a little extra motivation.
Joining me on the latest Ensemble PSG Podcast are Daniel and Kris from Battered Herons, and Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise. We talk about PSG’s upcoming match against Inter Miami in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup and some of the drama swirling around the matchup.
We begin with Daniel and Kris telling us about their podcast, and then jump into their initial thoughts after it was official that Inter Miami would face PSG. With a significant amount of prize money up for grabs to the winning squad, I ask whether that will be a strong motivator for the MLS team.
Lionel Messi is obviously the biggest star for Inter Miami, but Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and even their manager, Javier Mascherano, will be familiar to PSG fans not only because of their careers but also from the 6-1 defeat to FC Barcelona in 2017. I ask about other Inter Miami players who could make an impact against PSG.
Of course, we discuss PSG fans wanting to win big against Messi after some of his statements about the club following his departure. We also discuss whether Messi has to deliver an MLS Cup this season.
We wrap up the show talking about Messi’s impact in Miami, and we give our predictions.
