A member of Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary list, Matheus Pereira shone in the duel on Saturday night (23) against Internacional.
The match took place at Mineirão and is valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.
Cruzeiro’s number 10 opened the scoring 19 minutes into the first half with a beautiful lob shot, hitting it first time. Rochet had no chance.
The goal was very reminiscent of the one scored by Lionel Messi in Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Betis on March 17, 2019, in La Liga.
It was, at the time, the third of Messi’s hat-trick against the Andalusian team.
Inter’s equalizer didn’t take long. And it came from Bruno Tabata.
Did the sky blue’s number 10 perform as beautifully as Messi?
And does he deserve to be in the final call-up next Monday (25)?
