️Messi was interviewed by Dsports reporters after the game:

📣Reporter: Leo, let me first talk about your feelings about this game and your performance in the Club World Cup

🗣️Messi: "This game is actually basically within our expectations. The opponents are very strong. They are the defending champions of the Champions League and are in good condition at present. This game is the same as we expected, and we did our best."

"I think our performance in the Club World Cup is still good. It was just that the game against Palmeiras made us a little regretful. We were originally leading 2-0, but it ended up in a tie, which forced us to face the reality. Paris, which is stronger, but this is not blaming anyone, but just saying that the situation could have been different. After all, it was tied in the last 10 minutes. It really makes people feel a little bitter. In addition, I think we have shown our competitiveness. Now that the journey is over, we have to focus on the next league. "

📣Reporter: I saw that the players of Paris Saint-Germain respect you very much. Seeing you hugging and taking a photo with Donnarumma, he also showed you your jersey, and Ashraf, how do you feel? I also asked Enrique yesterday, why did you, as a player, cause such responses to everyone?

🗣️Messi: "They were all my teammates before. I had a good relationship with them in the past two years in Paris. Although there were not many people left when I worked in Paris, I had a good relationship with everyone. Everyone got along well and shared a lot of things. As for the new players, although they haven't worked with each other much, everyone always respected each other. As I said, I have always been treated kindly by everyone, and this time, I have always been grateful for this."

📣Reporter: Jorge Maas once said that we made history. What do you think?

🗣️Messi: "In fact, our original intention is to do our best and show a level that matches this event. I don't know if the outside world has such expectations for us, especially considering the way we advance to the Club World Cup (host) and the situation in the group, maybe the expectations will be lower. But as I said before, we performed well and paid all of it, which means a lot to us and are ready for important events in the future. I feel that being able to participate in this Club World Cup I am very happy. Although we come from different leagues and have different levels, we still have the opportunity to compete. But some gaps are indeed insurmountable, right? After all, we are against the team that just won Inter Milan 4:0 or 5:0 (reporter adds 5:0) and won the Champions League. To be honest, they are undoubtedly the strongest team in the world now, so the result is normal today. "

📣Reporter: Many Argentine football players are joked: How can you play 90 minutes per game at the age of 38? I also have to fly back to Argentina and come back. I appear as soon as I arrive at the training ground and play every game. Even if I feel a little uncomfortable, I will stick to the game. Everyone says you are not a human being, because it is really rare to be able to do this at the age of 38.

🗣️Messi: "I just try to stay in shape, always be with everyone, and do my best. In fact, we have good luck in this Club World Cup, and there are almost no running around because two games are in Miami and two games are in Atlanta, and the travel distance is relatively short. But indeed, the journey of running back and forth here is usually very long, and we have to do many such trips in a year. In the Central and North American Champions League, we flew Vancouver and Los Angeles, and it takes seven hours a day. Sometimes this frequent long-distance trip and intensive schedule really make people feel tired, but I have always been happy to play, enjoy the football I like, and always try my best to help the team."
