Argentinian national team captain and leader Lionel Messi, who scored the only goal for his country in the "Copa America" Group B second round match against Paraguay (1:1), emphasized the need to secure a victory in the third round match against Qatar after the game.
In the 57th minute, L. Messi equalized the score with an 11-meter penalty kick. The penalty was awarded after the referee reviewed the video replay (VAR).
"Not overcoming the group stage barrier would be madness," - Messi's words are quoted by TNT Sports. - We need to strive to improve the quality of the game, even though there is no time for that now. We must win the next match if we want to advance from the group. We need to do everything possible for that."
"In the previous match against Paraguay, Argentina's fans supported us greatly and suffered because of our failures. We absolutely have to win against Qatar," - said Messi.
