Messi will face his former team and coach at the World Cup, Donaruma: Leo has

Inter Miami and PSG will face off in the round of 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup.

A match that will mark the long-awaited meeting between Lionel Messi and his former teammates, but also with his former coach. The news was received with enthusiasm by the Parisian group, who flew to Atlanta immediately after the 2-0 victory against the Seattle Sounders.

"It's fantastic for us and for me. I spent two wonderful years with him, he's the best player in the world. But now I hope we win: he's won a lot of trophies. Leo is a great friend, it would be great to meet him again," Gianluigi  Donnarumma told  DAZN.

Messi, who made 75 appearances in Paris, scored 32 goals and won three titles between 2021 and 2023, had a bitter experience in the French capital: welcomed like a king, he left to boos after a difficult period. After his farewell, PSG left behind the era of superstars and won their first ever Champions League.
