This was stated by the French team player in an interview in the ‘Universo Valdano’ space on Movistar+, in which Messi considered that “ any selection is complicated, whatever the name”. “They are hard to win.

I think we arrived at a good time, but we must not fall into the mistake of people’s madness and believe that we are the favorites and we are going to be champions”, explains the PSG striker.
