Inter Miami player ratings vs PSG: Lionel Messi completely shut down by former side & Tomas Aviles ripped to shreds as hopeless Herons crash out of Club World Cup

Lionel Messi couldn't work miracles and the Inter Miami team around him crumbled as a rampant PSG coasted to a 4-0 win to bounce the Herons from the Club World Cup in the round of 16. Miami had unexpectedly made it out of their group, and always seemed to be outmatched here. And their only real achievement was keeping the scoreline respectable.

Miami shot themselves in the foot within five minutes when Maxi Falcon allowed Joao Neves - one of the shortest players on the pitch - to sneak in at the back post and head home for 1-0. And it was pretty much one-way traffic after that. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was a constant buzzing threat on the left wing, while Vitinha and Neves ran the midfield.

The second goal, also from Neves, rather sealed it. Sergio Busquets lost the ball on the edge of the Miami box, and the Parisians went to work. Five touches later and Neves was rolling into an empty net. They grabbed two more before half time, a Tomas Aviles own goal and a rebound tap in for the marauding Achraf Hakimi.

PSG rotated throughout the second half, and Miami offered a little more fight. Messi had his moments in the final third, and forced Gianluigi Donnarumma into a neat save late on. Otherwise, though, the Herons were toothless against a Parisian side that dominated on and off the ball. This wasn't an indictment on one player. PSG are simply world-class. But the Herons' Club World Cup journey has come to a remarkably predictable end.

Made a couple of nice saves, but spent most of the game picking the ball out of his own net - not really at any fault of his own.

Tragically mismatched against Kvaratskhelia. A little better in the second, and helped keep things respectable.

Had a true nightmare, pulled one way and another by the switchable front line.

Lasted 20 minutes before exiting with an apparent injury.

Absolutely clueless as to how to handle Hakimi and Bradley Barcola. Looked old.

Midfield

Far too slow when he had the ball, and lacking in legs to squeeze spaces without it.

Had a truly miserable time when Miami tried to play out from the back, with no answer for the Parisians' buzzing press.

Can't be faulted for his effort, but simply couldn't keep up with the movement.

Pretty much anonymous throughout.

Attack

A better touch might have led to a Miami goal in the second half. Never stopped running.

A game of moments. Did some really nice stuff on the ball now and then, but nothing quite came off for him.

Subs & Manager

Booked within a minute of coming on, conceded an own goal, and was generally a mess.

Puzzling that he didn't start over Redondo. Made things happen when he came on.

What was he supposed to do? His side were outmatched here, and he shouldn't shoulder the blame.
