Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said defeating Lionel Messi and Inter Miami on Sunday was trickier than it seemed despite the French side’s 4-0 Club World Cup last 16 triumph. 

Joao Neves’s early strike sent PSG ahead and then they scored three more before half-time to take an unassailable lead. 

Former PSG and Barcelona star Messi impressed in the second half but could not find a way through. “It is difficult to play against players of this calibre, it was difficult, but I think as a team we did an excellent job,” Luis Enrique told reporters.
