Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano commented on Lionel Messi's performance. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the last round of the group stage of the World Club Championship against Palmeiras (2:2), the 38-year-old forward was on the field from start to finish despite health issues. The "Herons" could not secure the victory and lost first place in the group to the Brazilians, but the players advanced to the playoffs. Mascherano said at the press conference: "Messi was not fully fit in the game against Palmeiras, but that did not prevent him from delivering an excellent 95-minute performance.
He fought, set the rhythm of the game, and led the team. You don't see such small details on television broadcasts, but they are very important." In the round of 16, Inter Miami will play against PSG.
The match will take place on Sunday at 19:00 Moscow time. This game will be an important test for the teams and is generating great interest among fans.
