Luis Enrique claims it would be "unfair" if Lionel Messi were to retire without a World Cup victory.
The Argentine has announced the tournament in Qatar will be his last, having first appeared at a World Cup back in 2006. His best effort so far is a runners-up medal, which he achieved back in 2014 when Germany won the tournament. Messi and Argentina arrive in the Middle East among the favourites having won the Copa America last summer, beating Brazil in the final.
They are also in the midst of an unbeaten run that spans more than 30 games and have been paired in a group with Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia. A Messi victory is seen as the perfect fairytale with Enrique, who is in charge of Spain, but also worked with the forward for three years at Barcelona, believing the 35-year-old is due the trophy.
