I have no doubts that for this reason the bank celebrated, that’s why we saw the smile on Messi’s face and also the union of the group. They know that this victory is an injection of encouragement for the rest of the season, especially in the face of this final, since the chances of going blank this season were very great a few minutes from the end of regulation time, “he considered.
