PSG dominated Inter Miami in the Club World Cup on Sunday, and as strange as it may appear, the result was beneficial to Tottenham in several ways.
The Champions League winners were already 4-0 up at halftime, and it remained that way throughout the round of 16 match courtesy to a double strike from Joao Neves, an own goal from Tomas Aviles, and a goal before the break from Achraf Hakimi after his first attempt was deflected onto the crossbar. Inter Miami had Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, both 38, up front, but they could only generate brief bursts of enthusiasm for their fans, especially in the second half, under PSG’s dominance.

The victory sends Paris to the quarter-finals next weekend, despite their horrifying performance, is excellent news for Tottenham, who will face Luis Enrique’s side in about six weeks.Reported by football London.
Thomas Frank’s first competitive match as Spurs manager will be the UEFA Super Cup final on Wednesday, August 13, when the Europa League champions face the Champions League winners in Udine. PSG will be a daunting first test for the Frank era at the club, but there is a reason Spurs will want their opponents to succeed in the competition currently underway in the United States.
Following competitions, FIFA rules require players to take at least three weeks off before returning to their clubs. So, if PSG makes it to the Club World Cup final, the three weeks of recuperation, provided they take the bare minimum, will see the French club’s players return to pre-season training on August 4 or 5.
