Lionel Messi: “The wait to return to playing was long as I spent a long time off the field and missed national team matches, but I’m happy to be back.
“I miss playing in Argentina again. Now we have a long trip back, then a few days to rest and prepare for the match at home.
“The field didn’t help us execute what we wanted to do. We hadn’t prepared the match in this way, but we were ready to compete for the second ball and look for a mistake from the opponent
“I’m happy that I can continue playing and be here again. Honestly, it was very difficult to play this way; the match was very ugly and full of complications.”
Rodrigo De Paul: “Horrible match. It was impossible to play football. We had to go for the second ball. It’s not great, but it’s what we had to deal with. The best conditions are having a good field, where the ball is moving well. We’re not asking for much.”
