Messi critiques Argentina 3-2 win over Cape Verde in World Cup qualifier

Argentina's captain Lionel Messi celebrated a 3‑2 win over Cape Verde in the World Cup round of 32 but admitted the performance was far from flawless. He highlighted periods of lost possession and insufficient pressing that allowed the opponents to equalise.

Messi warned that correcting these issues will be essential ahead of the Round of 16 clash with Egypt in Qatar.
