The Club World Cup is preparing to vibrate in the United States and the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi arrives with the idea of ​​making history. Housed in a group noted with Porto, Palmeiras and Al Ahly, the Americans know that each point will count. But a reunion scent already hovers, with the prospect of a very close resounding shock than we imagine.

Messi vs PSG, a scenario already drawn

To meet PSG, the Pulga and its team must first rise to the first two. The winner of the group A faces the second in group B-and vice versa-during the eighths set at June 28-29. Bookmakers (Miami 25 % Premier, 35 % second; Paris 58 % leader) increase the probability of a duel at almost 30 %. The dominant scenario provides for a poster in Atlanta on June 29.

A remake in the final is a dream. To reach on July 13 at Metlife Stadium, Messi and his troops should first win their hen and then align three successes against giants like City, Bayern or Real. By applying 45 % success per lap in Miami and 60 % in Paris, the accumulated luck falls under 1 %. The real threat is therefore clear in the second round.

Messi and PSG did not leave on very good terms.

Sulfur reunion

These reunion would have a sulfur taste. Leaving free in 2023 after two lukewarm seasons, Messi often criticized his Parisian stay, speaking of “lack of recognition”. If the agreement remains cordial with several former teammates, the Qatari management fears a new media outing. In an American stadium acquired at the MLS, the atmosphere could quickly ignite. And if by chance a rapid goal spice up the debates, social networks would blaze in real time, under the eyes of the world.

Stay in Miami to lay the groundwork: beat Al Ahly from the start, then grab at least one draw against Porto or Palmeiras. On the Parisian side, a success immediately against Atlético would already place Messi on the trajectory of his past. The countdown has started; Each hen result will rewrite the percentages. If fate gets involved, June 29 could offer the world the most awaited confrontation of the tournament.
