Lionel Messi humiliated by his former club as Champions League winners PSG score FOUR before half-time against David Beckham's Inter Miami at Club World Cup
Lionel Messi 's reunion with Paris Saint-Germain quickly descended into a humiliating rout on Sunday as his Inter Miami side conceded four goals before half time.
Miami, who were given a special invite to the Club World Cup by FIFA after winning Major League Soccer 's Supporters' Shield earlier this year, had made an impressive start to the tournament in the United States.
Messi and Co qualified from Group A without losing once. They drew 0-0 with Al Ahly before beating Porto 2-1. Miami then played out a 2-2 draw with Palmeiras.
That draw against Palmeiras saw Miami made a brilliant start by taking a 2-0 lead.
However, they made a terrible start against the champions of Europe in Sunday's round of 16 contest.

Tarik Skubal, Tigers overpower Twins
June 30 - Tarik Skubal limited Minnesota to one hit in seven innings and tied his career high with 13 strikeouts as the host Detroit Tigers blanked the Twins 3-0 on Sunday night. Skubal (10-2), who won all five of his June starts, struck out seven batters in a row from the first through the third inning. The left-hander, the American League Cy Young Award winner in 2024, is 8-0 in 10 home starts this season. Will Vest got the last three outs for his 13th save. Kerry Carpenter had a solo homer and RBI triple before leaving the contest in the fifth due to right hamstring tightness. Riley Greene supplied a solo shot. Minnesota starter Chris Paddack (3-7) gave up three runs and six hits with no walks and three strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the first on Carpenter's 16th homer. He blasted a 3-2 changeup from Paddack over the right field wall. Ryan Jeffers, the Twins' No. 2 hitter, hit a routine fly ball to center. Skubal struck out everyone else in his first time through the order. Javier Baez led off the bottom of the third with a double and moved to third on a long flyout. Carpenter was retired on a fly ball to leave Baez stranded. Byron Buxton flied out leading off the fourth, snapping Skubal's strikeout streak. Greene then staked Skubal to a two-run lead by leading off the bottom of the inning with his 19th homer. Like Carpenter, he hit a 3-2 offering over the right field wall. Ty France became the first Minnesota baserunner when he smacked a single to right with one out in the fifth inning. Skubal responded by striking out the next two batters. Detroit added a run in the fifth. Colt Keith was hit by a pitch and Carpenter drilled a triple to the right field corner. Minnesota's Christian Vasquez drew a walk with one out in the sixth. Skubal set down the next two batters on a groundout and flyout. Skubal finished his night by striking out France with a 100-mph fastball. The Tigers captured the weekend series two games to one and have won five of their last seven games. --Field Level Media

Key element in Marcus Rashford Man Utd exit emerges amid Bryan Mbeumo thoughts
Ruben Amorim has already added Matheus Cunha to Manchester United's ranks this summer but further Old Trafford ins and outs are expected before transfer deadline day After watching some of their Premier League rivals strengthen in the early part of the summer, Manchester United are aiming to do the same. Liverpool have announced record signing Florian Wirtz and Manchester CIty made a number of early additions ahead of the Club World Cup, but it's been slower going for Ruben Amorim's side. There was an early bit of business, with Matheus Cunha completing his permanent move from Wolves. United have also handed Tom Heaton a new contract, but the veteran goalkeeper won't be offended if we say fans will likely hope that's not the last announcement of the summer. One thing which won't be happening this year is an Old Trafford return for Paul Pogba. The French midfielder had been touted for a third spell during his time as a free agent, but has instead opted for a move to Monaco. Head coach Amorim is looking to freshen up in a number of areas as he aims to build a squad capable of playing to his tactical preferences. Bryan Mbeumo is a major attacking target, while further investment could hinge on an ability to offload some out-of-favour high earners. One of those high earners is Marcus Rashford, and we've got a bit on his next move today. Here are Mirror Football 's latest lines from around Old Trafford. Rashford's ex-colleague shares advice Timothy Fosu-Mensah broke into Manchester United's first team at the same time as Marcus Rashford, and believes the forward needs to ensure he can find a club where he feels good. The Dutch defender made his Premier League bow on the same day as Rashford, and was speaking as he continues his own search for a new club after leaving Bayer Leverkusen in 2024. 'I just want him to be happy. Everybody just wants him to be happy," Fosu-Mensah told The Independent. "The most important things is for him to feel good, for him to feel happy. Look, the quality is definitely there. Nobody needs to say anything about this quality, because he's a top player.' Rashford looked to be enjoying his football during a loan spell at Aston Villa last term, earning an England recall. However, he left at the end of the season after Villa missed out on Champions League qualification. Dressing room feelings on Mbeumo Matheus Cunha and Joshua Zirkzee both appeared to green-light a move for Bryan Mbeumo with their social media activity. The pair 'liked' a report indicating United are poised to continue talks over a move for the Brentford star. Cameroon international Mbeumo has been eyed by both United and Tottenham. The latter are managed by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, and can offer Champions League football, but those might not end up being deciding factors. Mbeumo has a year left on his current deal in West London, and Brentford hold an option to extend it until 2027. He is due back in pre-season training if no agreement can be reached before then, but exit talk persists. Onana could leave on loan Manchester United are ready to sanction a loan exit for Andre Onana, according to The Sun. The former Inter Milan star has had ups and downs since moving to Old Trafford in 2023, and a difficult second half of the 2024-25 season has led to increased chatter around an exit. Monaco are said to be among the interested parties, though their financial situation has prompted some doubt over a permanent switch. Philipp Kohn and Radoslaw Majecki shared goalkeeping duties at the Ligue 1 club last term as they finished third and qualified for the Champions League Emi Martinez remains an option to replace Onana if United do move for an alternative. If they are to pursue a cheaper alternative, Botafogo keeper John is said to be an option.
