  • Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi might have won everything with his club, but he’s still looking for his first win with Argentina in a major tournament.

    With the 2018 World Cup approaching, the Albiceleste fans remain unconvinced by the five time Ballon d’Or winner despite his exploits in Europe.

    Having come so close in the 2014 edition in Brazil, losing in the final against Germany, perhaps fans are being harsh on the superstar.

    As far as Argentinians are concerned though, you either you win it or you don’t. Messi hasn’t yet and until he does, he cannot come near Diego Maradona in their eyes.

    It doesn’t seem to matter that Messi was Player of the Tournament in 2014 or that he’s carried a suspect Argentina team on his shoulders through their qualifying campaign for the 2018 edition in Russia.

    Watch the video above as the fans express their thoughts on Messi.
