Open Extended ReactionsInter Miami star Lionel Messi said his team had "left a good image" at the Club World Cup despite falling 4-0 against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 to be eliminated from the tournament.
It was the game we expected, we tried to do the best possible and we left a good image in the Club World Cup level."
A victory over the Brazilian team would've seen Inter Miami face Botafogo in the knockout round instead of PSG, which Messi said would have presented a less complicated challenge.
Left-back Jordi Alba agreed with Messi and said the team lived up to the expectations it had set for itself ahead of the inaugural 32-team Club World Cup.
