Although Miami International led by Messi ended in the top 16 of the Club World Cup, Messi is still in excellent form. When asked why he still maintained a high level at the age of 38, Messi explained:

"I have always tried to stay in shape, always with the team, and do my best to help the team. "

However, Messi also mentioned that the Club World Cup held in the United States saved them from the pain of long journeys. "Indeed, we were lucky to not go through much travel this time, because we played two games in Miami and two games in Atlanta, and the distance between the two places is not far."

"The United States is vast, and the journeys back and forth are usually very long, and we have to do many such trips in a year. For example, in the North American Champions League, we flew to Vancouver and Los Angeles, each flight lasting seven hours, and these runs are really exhausting."

Finally, Messi concluded: "I feel tired after many consecutive games, but I am very happy to continue to participate and enjoy it. This is what I love the most, and I will do my best to help the team."
