Argentina goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez has said Lionel Messi is the “best in the world” and makes his team-mates like “lions who fight for him”.
Messi captained Albiceleste to a 3-0 victory against Italy in the Finalissima on Wednesday.
The veteran forward delivered another stunning display as the South Americans won their second international trophy without one year.
“A year ago we were nothing and today we are [World Cup] candidates because we won titles.
“We will always be candidates because we have the best in the world (in Lionel Messi).
“We are all lions who fight for him!” Martinez was quoted as saying by TUDN.
