The win over Brazil was Argentina’s first against their rivals since 2017 and Messi talked up the significance.
After the game, Messi said that the win over arch-rivals Brazil was ‘important’. “It’s important to win and it is always nice to beat Brazil, for the rivalry, which feels a lot of late,” said Messi.
“The rivalry is there more than ever and it is always good to beat Brazil,” he said, via Ole.
“When you win, you work better. The ideas of the coach are carried out on the pitch in another way and it is positive for what is coming.”
