  • Former teammate Federico Fernandez highlights that attempts to shut down Messi individually have failed over two decades due to his unstoppable nature.

  • Coach Thomas Tuchel believes England’s strategy, proven effective against Erling Haaland, can help contain Messi’s influence.

  • Captain Harry Kane emphasizes the importance of focusing on Argentina’s entire team rather than just Messi during the semi-final.

  • Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford stresses the squad’s readiness and urges maintaining composure against the reigning world champions.
  • You can’t stop him. This question has been asked for the last 20 years. People will always find a way to get possession of the ball, whether that’s dropping deep, or moving more to the side. People just need a good pass and control to make the difference. Even if you put a player on him specifically. Everyone has tried everything against him over the years. I would always ask the coach to try and put us on the same teams so I didn’t have to mark him [in training].
