For the Argentine National Football Team, this is undoubtedly one of the best moments to celebrate, not only because of the current situation, but also because of the great history they have been building over time. What the reigning world champion has achieved at the Qatar 2022 World Cup is something that we have not been able to measure, due to the high results from the collective level and also because of the individual validity, that we see as a team in each of the games they have had after, winning the best final in history against France in Doha.

 

With Lionel Messi as a genius, hero and figure, Lionel Scaloni's team beat the Peruvian national team by a score of 2-0, as a visitor at the National Stadium in Lima, who in front of more than 45 thousand fans saw how Inter Miami's number 10, delighted the local defense and also took his brace, thus becoming, the top scorer in the history of the South American Qualifiers of CONMEBOL with 30 goals.

 

After the great victory, Messi spoke to the microphones of the TV, mentioning his feelings and leaving an unprecedented comparison that surprised more than one fan: "I think I wondered the other day, this team is impressive and continues to grow, game after game. He's getting better and better. Compare it with Barcelona...It's the best team in history, Barcelona. That's a lot, isn't it? But I think this team is very close, because of what they showed, by having won the Americas, the world. That has a lot of merit. We have great players, no matter who plays, you can't tell because the style of play is very marked, which identifies us a lot, which we like to do and we hope to continue on this path".

 

 

At Inter Miami, they can rest assured

The Argentine star confirmed his presence with the South Florida club for next season, distancing himself from the rumors that placed him away from Inter Miami: "The truth is a shame, we were close, I missed a lot of games. We had several injuries, the month of July was tough because we played every three days, with travel. We won an important tournament for the club. Next year, I'll play the games we have left now and be as good as possible for November, if I can be there again. Then, enjoy the holidays, I will have more days in December, the holidays with my people. In January I'll be back again, I'll do pre-season from scratch and I'll prepare as well as possible, as always."
