In the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, Inter Miami was eliminated after losing 0-4 to Paris Saint – Germain. After the game, Messi, the captain of Inter Miami, accepted an interview with DSports.
Talk about the match result
Messi: “I am very happy that we can participate in this Club World Cup and compete against teams from all over the world under our current circumstances.”
“Today the team we played with, as I said before, won the Champions League. The final score was 4 – 0 or 5 – 0; I can't remember exactly. There is no doubt that they are one of the best teams in the world, and what happened today was of course.”
“People originally did not expect that we would achieve what we did. I saw many reactions and said that we could not come out of the group stage, and there were other negative voices, but we made it, a European team defeated and have introduced the knockout phase. It is important for us to participate in the competition.
Question: At the age of 38 you can still play the full 90 minutes, travel for competitions and continue to train. Are you really an alien?
Messi: “We are actually very lucky in the World Cup Club, because the travel schedule is relatively short. In Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Concacaf Champions League we once had to travel 7 hours for a competition, who is very physically draining, without having to deal.
