PSG Confirms Lineup for Club World Cup Knockout vs Inter Miami

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to face Inter Miami in the Round of 16 at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with a nearly full-strength squad, except for some fitness doubts surrounding Presnel Kimpembe. Ousmane Dembélé, who was injured earlier with the French national team, is expected to start on the bench but could come on after the 60th minute to provide a potential game-changing impact with his acceleration and unpredictability. PSG's starting lineup is likely to include goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, defenders Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes, and a midfield trio featuring João Neves and Vitinha, with an attacking front composed of players like Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The team is managed by Luis Enrique, who will face former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, now leading Inter Miami. PSG has shown strong form in the group stage, including a 4-0 win over Atlético Madrid, and are favored to advance further in the tournament. Despite Dembélé's recent return to training, the coaching staff is cautious about starting him due to his recent thigh injury, but they plan to utilize his talents as a substitute to exploit Inter Miami's defensive vulnerabilities.
