He added: “Let’s enjoy what we are experiencing as a national team and as a group because it is not easy to be in a final again.”
“This victory adds value to all the finals we played before with this group”said Messi and reiterated: “We know that these are our last battles and being able to be in another final once again alongside (Ángel) Di María and (Nicolás) Otamendi, who come from the previous generation, is a great achievement.”

“Let’s enjoy this moment and what we’re experiencing. This is the fourth consecutive final that we’re going to play in and we have to enjoy it because the whole journey was very tough,” Messi concluded.
