He called the defeat of Saudi Arabia brutal Lionel Messi. Argentina fell surprise the victim at the premiere third group, and the group leader takes over his duties.

“Everything happens for a reason. Now, obviously, we must win or… win. I have never experienced such a strong blow with this group. We knew we were up against a team that, if we let them play, would play well and push hard. We are trapped,” said Lionel Messi.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar commented on all three of Argentina’s goals that were disallowed in the first half. “I saw offsides were very fair. I didn’t see them in the photos, but since they canceled them, that’s it. There is no excuse. There is so much talk about VAR, it’s so complicated. In five minutes of errors we reached 1-2. We got everything mixed up, and the situation became a little more complicated, ”said the captain of the Albicelesta.

Messi, completing his speech, gave a message about the regrouping of the team. “We need to show that we are really strong. We haven’t been in this situation for a long time. This is a very heavy blow for everyone, for the world and for us. We didn’t expect this. This is the time when we need to be more united than ever. We did not expect this, but it depends on us. We have to show that we are a real team. This is a very hard “blow”, because we did not expect it, we were sure that we would win. This is the first game, and everything depends on us,” the team leader concluded.
