🚨 England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on facing Argentina:
🗣️“Normally, I prepared to stop Argentina as a team, but if I’m being honest, most of my focus was on Messi.
I knew they had talented players as well, but I didn’t expect this version of them. They played as if it were the World Cup final.
The hardest part is when any of these players get into the penalty area. You can’t read their body language. One second you think he’s going to shoot, the next he’s heading in the perfect goal. As a goalkeeper, Argentina is of the most difficult teams you can face.”

“Espero que España los aplaste como nosotros en Malvinas”
Thomas Tuchel on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.
🗣️ “I’ve coached against some of the greatest footballers in history, but nights like this remind you why Lionel Messi is different. We prepared for him all week. We had plans, we had markers, we had instructions… and none of it was enough. He punished us with two moments of absolute genius.”
“You can stop him for 85 minutes, but Messi only needs five seconds to destroy everything you’ve built. That’s what happened tonight. Two assists, no panic, no wasted movement just pure football intelligence. He doesn’t force the game. He waits… and when you make one mistake, you’re dead.”
“I was shouting from the touchline because I knew the danger every time he received the ball. My players knew it too. Yet knowing what Messi is capable of and actually stopping him are two completely different things. He sees passes that nobody else in world football even imagines.”
“People talk about speed and strength. Messi doesn’t need either. His brain is faster than every defender on the pitch. He dictates the tempo, manipulates space and tears teams apart without looking like he’s trying. That is what true greatness looks like.”
“As painful as this defeat is for England, I refuse to lie. We were beaten by a footballer who continues to redefine the game at 39 years old. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, carrying his country into another final… that’s not normal. That’s history unfolding in front of your eyes.”
“Sometimes, as a coach, you have to accept an uncomfortable truth. We didn’t just lose to Argentina we lost to Lionel Messi. And if he plays the final like he played tonight, the rest of the world should be very worried.”

🎙️Reporter: Jude, you were leading until around the 80th minute and then lost it before full time… that must really hurt?
Jude🗣️: Yeah… it hurts a lot. Honestly, it’s one of those feelings you don’t forget. We were in control for so long, and to see it slip away like that so late… it’s painful. I really wanted to win this — we all did. But at the same time, we gave everything. No one left anything out there.
🎙️Reporter: There was a moment between you and Lionel Messi during the game — it looked heated. What happened?
Jude🗣️: (laughs slightly) Yeah… I think that was probably my mistake, to be honest. I tried to get under his skin a bit, maybe distract him. At that point, everything was going our way, but I also know… as long as Messi is still on the pitch, the game is never finished.
So I thought maybe I could put him off a little. But yeah… I think I did the opposite. I think I woke something up in him.
🎙️Reporter: So no bad blood between you two?
Jude🗣️: No, not at all. He’s my idol, honestly. There’s nothing serious there. Emotions are high in a game like that, especially a semi-final.
And actually… after the final whistle, he came over to me and spoke to me, tried to console me. That meant a lot, because in my head I was thinking, ‘he probably hates me now’ (laughs). But that just shows the kind of person he is.
So yeah… nothing but respect for him.”
