The incredible number 10.

Any nation, irrespective of size or strength can dream of winning the World Cup if they have arguably the world's best player in their team. Apart from having some of the finest superstars in their squad, Argentina also have one of the greatest players in history.

A genius by definition and a magician by description, Barcelona legend Lionel Messi will be looking forward to claiming the World Cup for his nation this year.

The playmaker almost won the prestigious trophy for his country in 2014, dragging the Albiceleste to the final of the tournament before suffering a narrow defeat at the hands of Germany.

This time, the attacker has come back even stronger, looking forward to winning what could be perhaps his last World Cup tournament.

Messi is heading into the competition after having a successful campaign with Barcelona, bagging 44 goals and 14 assists in all competitions as well as helping the Blaugrana to complete a domestic double.

With the incredible genius on the team, who says Argentina can't win the World Cup?
