If Messi needs a rest, even if you have the best squad in the world, will his absence affect the team?

Mascherano: In any case, this year we had to play several matches without Leo, and everyone who participated in those matches performed well.

Mascherano: If Leo is fine and has no problems, it's always my idea to play, because we know that if there's anyone who knows how to handle himself on the pitch and knows his body well, it's Leo.

So we'll take things day by day. I don't want to say one thing and then do another. The situation is determined by how the players feel each day.
