“It was a controlled match, I think we could have sentenced it. Perhaps taking out the last one that Dibu (Martínez) covers we won’t suffer too much,” Messi added.
Lionel Messi: “We’re going to have a very tough matchup, I think it’s going to be very difficult, they’re going to want to get the ball out of us. At this point the World Cup is getting even tougher.”
