Lionel Messi, the striker of the Argentina national team and "Inter Miami," compared the level of play of the current composition of the national team with the Catalan club, commenting on the victory over Peru in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in South America.
"I was thinking the other day. This Argentina team is impressive, growing, and getting better and better. Compared to Barcelona, the best team in history, we are very close to their level. We won the American and World Cups. We have great players. You can always tell that this is Argentina because we have a very pronounced style of play that makes us very similar, and we like it. Let's hope that we continue to go that way.
Everything is much easier if the team and the atmosphere are good. We have been showing this is an excellent team for a long time. There are many young guys who, despite having won a lot, want to keep winning. After the World Cup, the coach said we start again from scratch. When you win, it's more challenging to strengthen at the top," Mundo Deportivo quoted Messi.
