Argentina will be 'Lionel Messi's team' at the World Cup, says Jorge Sampaoli | The Independent
Jorge Sampaoli says Lionel Messi holds Argentina's hopes of a successful World Cup campaign this summer. Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi has led Barcelona to 30 domestic and European trophies during a stellar career but is yet to win a major trophy with the national team, apart from a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics.
