Argentina suffered a demoralizing 1-0 defeat to Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup final.

Mario Gotze's strike in extra time broke both Lionel Messi's and Argentine hearts.

Despite this, La Albiceleste performed admirably throughout, beating the likes of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland en route to the final.

Messi won the Golden Ball for his exploits at the tournament, where he managed four goals and an assist in seven appearances.

The PSG attacker has claimed that Lionel Scaloni's side are similar to that of the 2014 World Cup runners up.

He told Ole that he had an unforgettable experience at the 2014 tournament and that the group of players he was among were strong and united:

"At the 2014 World Cup, we performed very well. It was an unforgettable experience. I enjoyed it a lot and where it became clear to me more than ever that the main and most important thing is to be a strong and united group."

Lionel Messi then went on to compare the current Argentina squad with the 2014 one:

"That ultimately leads you to the important goal. Today I feel a lot of similarities between this group and the one from 2014."
