Argentina and Brazil tied 0-0 in San Juan, to close the 14th date of the CONMEBOL Qualifiers. With this duel, the Albiceleste closed a more than positive 2021 with a Copa América in their pocket and an evolution that translated into results under the command of Lionel Scaloni. Despite today's equality, people recognized the team for the year it was done.

As soon as the match ended, Lionel Messi spoke before the cameras to tell his feelings about the draw against Brazil and emphasized a previous one that had him between cotton wool. "I arrived with the right thing, more than anything because of the rhythm, and this was a very intense match. I'm fine, otherwise I wouldn't have played. I've been standing for a long time and it's not easy to play with the rhythm that this match demanded," he declared the captain of the selected team to bring peace of mind to the fans.

Subsequently, the Flea showed compliance with the level shown during the classic and rescued the intention of the Scaloni team. "From the beginning we were convinced that we could win. We tried to play and sometimes we could not. The important thing is that we are well, we did not lose and we continue to grow", said Lionel.

At the closing, Messi showed his focus on the future of the National Team and declared: "Hopefully next date we can qualify definitively, but we are close." Argentina will return to the ring in 2022 and will renew illusions thinking about the next World Cup. In January, Scaloni's men will face Chile and Colombia.
