Lionel Messi, Man Utd woe and retirees: Where Argentina's 2014 World Cup final XI are now

On Sunday, Lionel Messi will play in his second World Cup final when Argentina take on France at the Lusail Stadium - eight years after they lost 1-0 to Germany in Brazil.

Messi, 35, will get the chance to avenge that narrow defeat at the Maracana Stadium, but the same can't be said about the other members of that team. He is the only one to remain part of Argentina's squad, as Angel Di Maria didn't play against Germany.

So, what's happened to the late Alejandro Sabella's starting XI from the 2014 final? Here, Mirror Football takes a look at their respective careers to find out the answer.
