Messi Speaks On Germany’s Elimination From The FIFA World Cup 2022
Argentine star, Lionel Messi has expressed shock about Germany’s loss and elimination at the FIFA 2022 World Cup group stage.
The Four-time FIFA winners lost their chance of going into the knockout stage after placing third in Group E, behind Japan and second-place Spain.
In reaction to this, Messi expressed shock, explaining “how difficult the World Cup is.”
In his words: “I was surprised that they were out,” Messi said.
“They [Germany] had many top players, and they’re a young team that is always among the best in a World Cup.
“It is surprising that they were out again in the first round, but that shows how difficult the World Cup is.
“It is no longer the name of the national team that matters, but what you see on the pitch. Everything is becoming more and more equal.”
