Uruguayan midfielder Fede Valverde has admitted that he doesn't know how to stop Lionel Messi. In an interview ahead of the Uruguay-Argentina match, Valverde acknowledged the difficulty of facing a player of Messi's caliber. He spoke about his previous encounters with Messi, both in club and international matches, and mentioned that Real Madrid teammate Casemiro was a "good weapon" to beat Messi, although not always successful.

Valverde's praise for Messi comes as no surprise, considering the Argentine's recent Ballon d'Or win. Messi's dominance on the field is well-known, and even a talented player like Valverde finds it challenging to stop him. The upcoming Uruguay-Argentina match will be another opportunity for Valverde to try and contain Messi, but he admits he still doesn't have a formula to do so.

The matchup between Uruguay and Argentina is crucial for both teams in their quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The clash between Valverde and Messi will be a highlight of the game, with fans curious to see if Valverde can find a way to limit Messi's influence. However, history has shown that stopping Messi is no easy task, and Valverde's comments only highlight the immense talent of the Argentine superstar.
