Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero says a World Cup win for Lionel Messi with Argentina would be “a perfect way" to end his international career.
The pair came agonisingly close to lifting the Jules Rimet trophy in 2014 when they lost in extra time to Germany in the final. Argentina bowed out against champions France in the Round of 16 at Russia 2018, Aguero netting a net consolation in a 4-3 defeat.
The country has been drawn alongside Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia in Group C ahead of this year’s finals in Qatar. They will be expected to qualify from the group and could face France again in the knock-outs depending where each team finishes.
