THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Alba told reporters: "In the end, what Leo wants is to win games, like the great player that he is. I know the feelings he has towards Barça, where we play together, but not towards PSG. He was there for two years and only he knows what happened. What is clear is that it will be a hard-fought match and hopefully we can ring the bell, knowing the difficulty involved in playing with these types of teams."</p>

WHAT ALBA SAID

<p>Inter Miami and PSG are due to face off in the last 16 of the Club World Cup on Sunday, 29 June at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.</p><p></p>
