On June 19th, Beijing time, Miami Inter's head coach Mascherano was interviewed by the media and talked about Messi's situation.
Messi played the full 90 minutes in the first Club World Cup match against Al Cairo. Regarding his physical condition, Mascherano said, "Messi is in great form and has completed all the training." The camera finally focused on his touch of the leg. People sometimes touch it habitually, but it's nothing. He's fine and in good condition. Apparently, he will play in the game tomorrow.
It is worth mentioning that Messi is likely to break two records at this Club World Cup:
The all-time top scorer in the Club World Cup - just two goals away! At present, Cristiano Ronaldo holds the position of the all-time top scorer in the Club World Cup with 7 goals. However, as he will not participate in this tournament, Lionel Messi has an excellent opportunity to catch up. Messi has scored five goals in five games in the Club World Cup before. He only needs two more goals to equal the record, and three more goals to take the top spot alone.
2. The oldest goal scorer - Mr. Messi is just one goal away! The legendary defender Zanetti currently holds the record for the "oldest goal scorer in the Club World Cup" - 37 years, 4 months and 5 days. If Messi scores a goal in the game, he will rewrite this record at an age close to 38.
