After stumbling in In the group stage of, showed him having found himself in the competition. The current European champion dominated Inter Miami at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday and advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-0 win, with goals from João Neves (two) Avilés (against) and Hakimi, all in the first half. Now, the team of coach Luis Enrique awaits the winner of the confrontation between Flamengo and Bayern Munich, which will be held later this Sunday, at 17h (Brasília time), in Miami, to meet next Saturday’s opponent, at 13h (Brasília), again in the capital of Georgia.
The PSG liquidated the game in the first half, with a brutal technical superiority and, especially, with the defensive fragility of the opponent. Thus, the partial 4-0 rout in the initial 45 minutes seemed to have come out cheap to Florida’s pink set. In an unequal confrontation of forces, the European champion exchanged passes on the attacking field, while the sixth place in the West American League conference defended himself with eight – except Messi and Suárez – behind the ball line. In another play of a set, boat, boat also appeared free in the second post to head to the network, but this time Brazilian referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio signaled the impediment.
With 70% of ball possession and high marking without it, Europeans asphyxiated the team of coach Javier Mascherano in the defense field. The pressure worked and, in a new defensive failure, Fabián Ruiz disarmed Busquets on the ball, tabulated with boat and left João Neves in the face of the goal: 2-0. Across the field, Messi was a privileged spectator of the designed disaster. Avilés, who had taken a yellow card shortly after replacing the injured Allen, sent the ball against his own goal when trying to intercept a cross from Doué. Taking advantage of the free corridor on the right, PSG arrived at the fourth goal in additions, with Hakimi, who finished twice – the first deflected in Ustari and stamped the crossbar – to expand the French advantage.
