Discussion around Argentina is all about one man. Lionel Messi. Arguably the greatest player of all time, the closest Messi has ever gotten to lifting the World Cup was Brazil 2014 when his Albicelestes were beaten in the final by Germany. Now in the latter stages of his career, this will almost certainly be his last chance to rectify the one aberration on his record. Fans all over the world will be hoping to see him fulfill his dream. Argentina come into this tournament as one of the favorites and as the reigning Copa America champions. Aside from Messi, manager Lionel Scaloni can also count on Serie A stars Lautaro Martinez and Paulo Dybala in attack and the Premier League’s Cristian Romero and Lisandro Martinez at the back.
Saudi Arabia will be heavy underdogs against Argentina and the other sides in a very competitive Group C, but that might just suit them. Manager Hervé Renard famously won the African Cup of Nations in 2012 with a similarly unfancied Zambia team. Having lost just once in qualifying, confidence will be high. With a squad made up entirely of Saudi-based players, there will be an element of the unknown for any team facing The Falcons. Winger Salem Al-Dawsari is considered the squad's star man, but there is plenty of experience throughout the squad with the likes of Yasser Al-Shahrani who already has 70 caps for his country.
Here's how they line up:
Argentina: Martinez, Romero, Tagliafico, Otamendi, Molina, Gomez, De Paul, Paredes, Messi, Martinez, Di Maria.
Saudi Arabia: Al-Owais, Al-Bulaihi, Al-Shahrani, Kanno, Abdulhamid, Al-Malki, Saleh Al-Shehri, Al-Tambakti, Al-Faraj, Al-Dawsari, Al-Buraikan.
The chance to witness the greatest player of all time, on the biggest stage for the last time, makes the Argentina vs Saudi Arabia live stream one to mark on your calendar.
