Busquets: We Are Not at the Level to Compete in the Club World Cup
Busquets admitted that his team is not at a level that allows them to compete for the title. In his statements, he said: "We are not at the level that allows us to compete in the Club World Cup, but we will try to get past the group stage." The captain of the American midfield expressed confidence in Inter Miami's ability, led by Argentine star Lionel Messi, to perform well during the group stage, despite the strength of the competing teams. He added: "We prefer to approach each match individually and not put too much pressure on the team; the tournament includes very strong teams, and we are not among the candidates to win the title." Inter Miami is participating in Group A of the tournament alongside Al Ahly from Egypt, Palmeiras from Brazil, and Porto from Portugal. They will begin their journey against Al Ahly on June 15, followed by a match against Porto on June 19, and will conclude the group stage with a match against Palmeiras on June 24.
