The blessing in disguise! Paris Saint-Germain lost the game in an upset, and it basically avoided encountering Messi in the knockout match

The first match day of the second round of the Club World Cup was unpopular. Miami International defeated Porto before, and then Paris Saint-Germain failed in front of Brazilian giants Bottafogo.

As the new Champions League champion, Paris Saint-Germain achieved the great achievement of being a treble champion this season, successfully got rid of the hat of "rich" and officially entered the ranks of wealthy families. In the first game of the Club World Cup, they hit Atletico Madrid with a 4-0 score, making them so imposing that in this game, almost everyone was optimistic that they would win two consecutive victories and secured the qualifying spot in advance.

But the final reality gave them a loud slap in the face and public opinion. They were as disappointed as Porto. Fortunately, they are currently ranked second in the group and still have the initiative to qualify. However, if they want to win the first place in the group, in addition to winning in the last round, they also have to rely on Atletico Madrid to defeat Bottafogo.

However, winning the second in the group is not a bad thing for Paris Saint-German. After all, if they win the first in the group, they will have a high probability of playing against Miami International team led by Messi in the 1/8 final. If this group show up, it will not only be a meeting game, but also a grudge game, and it will also be a pressure game for Paris Saint-German.

Although Paris Saint-German is far ahead of Miami International in terms of strength, with the precedent of Miami overturning Porto and their own loss to Botavgo, Paris Saint-German itself is not sure to win Miami International.

The story between Paris Saint Gran and Messi is well known. Messi spent two unhappy seasons there, and the two sides also had a little unhappy fuss when they broke up. Before the two sides held hands, Messi and Paris met many times in the Champions League on behalf of Barcelona. They eliminated Paris three times, but were also eliminated by Paris once.

If we meet, Messi will definitely hold his anger and vent his anger on his old club in response to the Parisians' neglect of him. Paris Saint-Germain must also want to prove through a big victory that without the King of Football, they have indeed become better.

But because of the obvious gap in strength, the pressure is actually on Paris Saint-Germain side. Miami International is lightweight, without psychological burden, and has home advantage. Messi's condition is getting stronger and stronger. Maybe he scored another free kick or an incredible long-range shot through Paris. Once Paris is upset by Miami, the reputation accumulated from the Champions League will disappear overnight. The media and netizens will make a big fuss about Messi. It is conceivable how public opinion will mock them.

Now, they are likely to win second place in the group, and Miami is likely to not win first place in the group, so they are likely to not meet again. Although there are fewer highlights, there are fewer embarrassing possibilities for both sides.
