Brazil failed to clinch their victory against Colombia in the CONMEBOL qualifier. They could not maintain their lead in the second half following their second defeat in the qualification fixtures. On this note, Lionel Messi ridiculed Brazil’s misery and stressed their preparation before the next match.

Similarly, Argentina suffered their first loss in the last 25 games across all competitions against Uruguay. They did not lose a match after their defeat in the 2022 World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Messi failed to showcase his attacking abilities against Uruguay, which resulted in them losing crucial points. The Argentine expressed optimism for their next game against Brazil, aiming to return in winning ways. For now, he takes a cheeky dig at them!

Lionel Messi remarks about Brazil before their next game

Sèleco suffered a 2-1 loss against Colombia in the qualification games. Brazil’s qualifier campaign has fallen short of expectations after underwhelming performances in consecutive matches. In the interim, La Pulga believes Brazil is experiencing a decline in performance and fails to recognize them as formidable opponents.

La Albiceleste has the potential to be victorious in the game despite their defeat against Uruguay. The Barca star is confident of improving and strives to address the shortcomings from the qualifier match. Thus, Messi took a cheeky dig stating, “Brazil is not doing well either. It will be a nice test for us.”

After 2015, it was only the second time the South American giants lost a World Cup qualifier on the same day. Brazil’s match against Argentina on November 22 will mark the historic rivalry between the nations over the decades. However, is Sèleco really prepared to face Messi’s side in the CONMEBOL qualifiers? Let’s dig into his performance in the last match of the World Cup qualifiers.

Brazil’s misery portrayed against Colombia

Brazil started well against Colombia with a lead in the fourth minute. Gabriel Martinelli scored from Vinicius Jr.’s precise assist in the offensive third of the rivals. However, the 5x world champions could not cope with the consecutive attacks of the opposition. Their woes further intensified as Vinicius Jr. was forced to leave due to a thigh injury in the first of the match.

The home side slowly took control of the game amidst the sold-out Metropolitano stadium. Colombia’s star striker, Luis Diaz, created ten attempts which were denied by his Liverpool teammate Alisson. The 26-year-old star finally found the net in the 75th minute, and a mere four minutes later, he secured the game with a well-executed header. Brazil is winless in the last three games, reflecting their lackluster performance. Consequently, Sèleco will have a stiff mountain to climb to ace against their arch-rivals, Argentina in Rio de Janeiro.
