Not long ago, Cristiano Ronaldo told Piers Morgan that winning the World Cup “is not that hard,” but now those words have effectively been countered.
Details: In a recent interview, Messi explained why lifting the trophy is anything but easy. According to the Argentine, any team can beat you and send you home.
Quote: “Winning the World Cup is very difficult… Any team can make your life complicated and knock you out. The ball can hit the post and go out, or hit the post and go in — and just like that, your journey ends. Or you can lose on penalties,” Messi said.
He added that during the last World Cup they enjoyed a bit of luck, even though they played the better football in their knockout matches.
Reminder: Messi recently wrote another page in football history in Inter Miami’s latest match, where they demolished their opponents and advanced to the playoff final.
