Barcelona star Messi: No risk with ankle injury

Barcelona ace Lionel Messi insists he took no risks after playing - and scoring - in their Club World Cup win over Atlante.

Messi is still carrying an ankle injury, but managed over a half-hour to help Barca reach the final against Juan Veron's Estudiantes.

"I felt good. I played a few minutes, it hurt a bit at the end, but there are days left to recover again," said Messi.

"We beat a great team that played very well.

"Estudiantes are a great team with very good players."
