Lionel Messi celebrated the 2-1 victory over Australia, which secured the Argentine national team in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar. However, he admitted that the team got complicated with a game that was in their hands.
“It seemed like a controlled game, we could have paced better. We conceded the goal on the counterattack and our goalkeeper had a very good performance, he managed to stop the opponent until the last minute”, said Messi, as he left the field.
The striker also commented on the fact that the team slowed down due to fatigue in the second half.
“We had little rest time, we didn’t recover well. But I’m happy for the victory.”
“We wanted to be here for the feeling that the fans are transmitting. We took a step further”, completed the number 10 shirt.
