📹 Matheus Pereira nets Messi-style stunner in win over Inter | OneFootball

Member of Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary squad, Matheus Pereira put on a show in Saturday night’s (23rd) clash against Internacional.

This match was part of the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. And it ended with a 2-1 victory for Cruzeiro.

Cruzeiro’s number 10 opened the scoring at the 19th minute of the first half with a beautiful lob, striking it first time. Rochet had no chance.

A goal that 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.

On that occasion, it was the third goal of the number 10’s hat-trick against the Andalusian team.

Inter’s equalizer didn’t take long. And it came from Bruno Tabata.

But the Fox found the 2-1 thanks to Kaio Jorge.

Did the number 10 from Cruzeiro do it as beautifully as Messi?

And does he deserve to be in the final squad announcement next Monday (25)?
