Argentine achieved a historic milestone yesterday after beating Brazil for the first time at the Maracaná, at least in World Cup qualifiers.
The happiness of the Argentines was so great that these were the words of Lionel Messi after finishing the match:
“We knew it was going to be a tough game, similar to the one in the Copa América final. They pressed a lot, they went to look for us high and it was difficult for us to have long possessions. These games are defined by details. We needed this victory after the defeat against Uruguay. This group continues to achieve historic things. Although today was not the most important, it is something very nice.”
Now, Messi gave a warning to rivals in the MLS, and that is that next year will be fantastic for him: “It was my last game of the year, I have time to get well and start the year with everything. I’m going to prepare to have a great year, have a great preseason and from scratch,” said Lionel Messi.
Of course, 2023 is over for the Argentine forward who will not have action after being eliminated in the United States tournament with Inter Miami while the action for the Argentine team also came to an end and will only return in March 2024. He will have December, January and February to be able to get in the best shape to arrive optimally for the following season.
The Argentine National Team achieved a historical mark that no other country had achieved in the South American qualifiers. Brazil had never lost a home game in this tournament. The only six defeats at home had been three in the Copa América and another three in World Cups: “We achieved something historic,” said Lionel Messi.
