Lionel Scaloni: Messi decided the game

Scaloni was full of praise for Messi after the match.

He said, per Mundo Deportivo: “We knew the game was going to be difficult. We had the suspicion that Mexico were going to play with a line of 5.

“It cost us the first half, but we corrected at half-time by putting Guido Rodríguez between the central defenders. We matched them in the middle. Then they saw what happened.

“The ’10’ decided the game. And it’s good for us. He has a group behind him that supports him. It’s exciting in every way.”

He added: “We have known for years that we have the best in the world. I think that even the Mexican fans enjoy him, even if he scored against them.”
