Luis Suárez, scorer of the three goals in the victory against Guangzhou Evergrande, showed his happiness for the qualification to the Club World Cup final and hopes that Messi and Neymar recover and can play against River Plate on Sunday.
"We knew we had two injured players. We had to stay focused. I hope Messi recovers as soon as possible. He and everyone who didn't play, like Neymar and Douglas," said the Uruguayan.

Suárez also commented on Gallardo's team: "We knew there were many possibilities of playing against River. They won the Libertadores for a reason. The other day they made it clear that they are one of the greats in America. We will try to win the match, it will be a great spectacle."
