Brazil captain Dani Alves and centre-back Marquinhos have insisted their national team isn't afraid of Argentina's Lionel Messi ahead of their Superclasico clash in 2018 World Cup qualifying this Thursday.
The two rivals will collide at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto in Belo Horizonte, and with Brazil currently leading CONMEBOL qualification, Alves told the media on Tuesday: "There is no such thing as being scared in football. There is respect for Messi and for Argentina. And they feel the same about our players, our team."
