PSG vs Inter Miami Live Score FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Follow Latest Updates
PSG vs Inter Miami Live Score FIFA Club World Cup 2025: The stage is set for one of the biggest clashes of this year's FIFA Club World Cup 2025, where Lionel Messi will be up against his former team, Paris Saint-Germain, in the knockout round. Messi didn't have the best of times during his two-year spell at PSG, where he wasn't welcomed by the fans as he failed to help them win the UEFA Champions League. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner moved out to Europe after finishing two years at PSG and winning the World Cup with Argentina during that period. ...Read More
Inter Miami is the only MLS club to reach the knockout stage of the Club World Cup this year and remained unbeaten in the group stage, where they beat Porto to stun the world. Since Messi's arrival, the club has witnessed massive improvement in every department, but it is still miles behind its Sunday opponent, Paris Saint-Germain, which won the Champions League this season.
Javier Mascherano insists his Inter Miami side can shock European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup last 16 on Sunday, despite admitting they are levels below the French giants.
Mascherano was also looking forward to meeting PSG boss Luis Enrique, who coached him, as well as Miami players Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba at Barcelona, all of them winning the treble together in 2015.
"Luis is one of the best coaches I've had in my career, I have a good personal relationship with him," said Mascherano.
The high-stakes knockout clash presents a major challenge for both teams—PSG are eyeing global recognition to complement their European triumph, while Inter Miami look to validate their rise by taking on top-tier competition and making a statement on the world stage.

France's football union slams FIFA Club World Cup; calls it 'massacre' for players
France's Union of Professional Football Players (UNFP) has slammed FIFA's new Club World Cup, calling it a 'massacre' for players already worn out by packed schedules. The tournament has sparked major concerns about the health of players. The UNFP has accused FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, of ignoring the problem. The UNFP expressed their anger against the Club World Cup for pushing players to their limits. They called out FIFA boss Gianni Infantino, saying he's out of touch, living 'in an ivory tower' while players suffer. According to the UNFP, the tournament, which features 32 top teams, is more about money than caring for the sport's stars. 'The incongruity of the situation is not lost on anyone, except, of course, Gianni Infantino and his flatterers,' the UNFP said. The FIFA Club World Cup comes right after an already exhausting season, leaving players with no time to rest. Most countries have rules giving footballers at least three weeks off between seasons, but due to the ongoing tournament, it is not possible. For example, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stars like Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue went straight from the Champions League to play for France, then to the US for the Club World Cup. This non-stop schedule can lead to burnout and injuries. The timing of the FIFA Club World Cup is causing chaos for clubs like PSG, who are already training for the Ligue 1 season starting in mid-August. Players aren't getting the rest they need, which could impact their performance. The UNFP also pointed out that France's national team might suffer, as coach Didier Deschamps prepares for 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September. 'A delay in preparation that must also worry Didier Deschamps,' the UNFP noted. The UNFP is demanding change by stating, 'It is urgent to stop this massacre game.' They want FIFA to respect players' right to rest and rethink the crowded calendar. The union also questioned Infantino, 'What do you say, Mr. Infantino?" UNFP's fight over the FIFA Club World Cup isn't just about one event, it's about the future of the sport. With legal battles and strike threats already in the air, the UNFP's statement points to FIFA needing to balance making money with keeping players healthy. If they don't, the sport could lose its shine.

Ropar boy becomes world's youngest to scale Europe's highest mountain peak
Teghbir Singh has become the youngest ever in the world to scale the Mount Elbrus which is the highest peak of European continent and located in Russia at a height of more than 18,510 ft (5,642 metres). He is all of six years and nine months. Hailing from Ropar, Teghbir started the trek to the Mount Elbrus on June 20 and walked all along to reach the Elbrus peak, the highest point of the mountain, on June 28, 2025. It is a low-oxygen trek and one needs preparation to tackle problems associated with altitude sickness. However, conquering all these challenges, Teghbir reached the summit, where normal temperature is -10 Celsius. After conquering the peak, he received the Mountain Climbing Certificate issued by Mountaineering, Rock Climbing and Sports Tourism Federation Of Kabardino – Balkarian Republik (Russia). 'It is to certify that Teghbir Singh from India is the world's youngest sumiter on Mount Elbrus at age of 6 years , 9 months & 4 days,' states the certificate. Elated over the achievement, Teghbir said, 'I knew where I was to reach and finally I reached and had a picture with my father there.' 'I was walking first time on snow. My shoes were heavy but I had practised it,' said the second standard student of Shiwalik Public School, Ropar. The previous world record was set last year by Wagah Kushagra, a native of Maharashtra, at the age of 7 years and 3 months. In August 2024, Teghbir had become the youngest Asian to scale Mt Kilimanjaro (highest peak of African continent). His name features in the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records. He had also reached Mt Everest Base Camp, Nepal, in April 2024. Delighted over the new achievement of scaling Europe's highest peak, his father Sukhinderdeep Singh said, 'Teghbir started preparing for this feat almost a year back. He was trained by Bikramjit Singh Ghuman (retired coach) who used to help him with the exercises related to increase cardiovascular health and increase lung capacity to deal with altitude sickness. He used to go on weekly treks with me and coach to different hilly locations.' 'The climb was different as compared to Mt Kilimanjaro and other treks he did before. It was first time he was walking in snow with high boots, crampons, harness & oxygen support on. It increased the weight on feet by almost three-four kg. He walked and stayed in a low-oxygen altitude in a minus grade temperature for almost a week,' said Sukhinderdeep, who accompanied him during the journey. His father, who works as an administrator at a hospital at Ropar, said, 'Our stays were in Mountain Huts and it took eight days to scale the summit. Due to bad weather and fierce snowstorm, the summit push was cancelled twice.' In a brief safe window when the wind speed lowered, they set for the summit on the night of June 27 at 1 am in freezing temperature of around -20 Celsius. It was a challenging moment for the entire crew which consisted of his father, two guides, and one support staff. They reached the summit at 7.56 am on June 28 after walking for around six hours in the freezing temperature . A gynecologist, Teghbir's mother Dr Manpreet Kaur said, 'Diet played a major role in his journey. He followed a strict diet schedule as made by his coach.' His father said that Teghbir Singh would reach back on July 1, 2025.
