Lionel Messi's got 'no chance' of winning Club World Cup! Inter Miami's GOAT told he's 'no longer young' and quest for world supremacy with MLS side will fall short

<p>Former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Geremi believes Messi is "no longer young" and is not going to be able to lead his side to success in the competition. The Cameroon legend claims clubs with players in the peak of their career are more likely to lift the trophy.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Geremi was speaking to Boyle Sports, who offer the latest <a href="https://www.boylesports.com/sports/football/competition/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank">Club World Cup odds</a>, and said: "Lionel Messi is no longer young and while playing for Inter Miami, he isn’t surrounded by great players like he has been in the past. He is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers, he might well perform at a high level but does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so. He is Messi and he will still show his quality, but to the level we have seen him in the past? I don’t think we will."</p><p></p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>
