Paris Saint-Germain made easy work of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami 4-0 in the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup and are now set to clash with Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich in the quarterfinal of the competition.
This match-up is not only the biggest game of this round of the tournament but also the perfect opportunity for the European Champions to take revenge on the Bavarians, a side that defeated them in the 2020 Champions League final and in the group stage of the last Champions League campaign.
