Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said facing former player Lionel Messi will be an “emotional” reunion for both himself and the French club ahead of Sunday’s Club World Cup clash against Inter Miami. Argentine great Messi joined PSG in 2021 from Barcelona, where Luis Enrique had coached him and several other current Inter Miami players. The forward departed in 2023, the same summer the Spaniard arrived at PSG, having won two Ligue 1 titles but failed to bring the French club the Champions League triumph they craved.

Luis Enrique said star PSG forward Ousmane Dembele had trained this week but he would “take no risks” with the French winger for the last-16 clash at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

After Botafogo stunned PSG in the group stage and Inter Miami surprised with a 2-1 win over Porto, Luis Enrique called on his players to maintain their concentration.
