The starting lineups held no major surprises. As anticipated, Dembélé is among PSG's substitutes, with Bradley Barcola joining Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the attack. Inter Miami is likely to deploy a flexible 4-4-2 formation, allowing Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez freedom to move forward.
Both sides have included two goalkeepers on the bench, a growing trend in modern football that often serves little purpose.
The Club World Cup has progressed to the knockout stage. On Saturday, Palmeiras triumphed over Botafogo in an all-Brazilian clash, while Chelsea overcame Benfica. Now, attention turns to the encounter between the Champions League winners and Inter Miami, the club featuring Lionel Messi.
The match presents an intriguing storyline, with Messi facing his former club, Paris Saint-Germain—where he never seemed entirely settled—and his ex-Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique. Inter Miami also includes several former Barcelona players. While expectations for them may be low, the game promises excitement.
The team that overcomes PSG could emerge as a strong contender for the title. The focus will be on how the MLS side handles threats like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé, who is expected to return from injury off the bench.
Kickoff is scheduled for 5 PM BST, which corresponds to midday in Atlanta, Georgia.
