Pressure? We are calm and trust each other

WE’LL RECALL MARADONA IN STYLE SAYS MARTINEZ | ARGENTINA V MEXICO 7PM, ITV

LAUTARO MARTINEZ claims Argentina are not under any pressure, despite their hopes hanging by a thread.

Lionel Scaloni’s side were the victims of one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history as they crashed to a 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia in their Group C opener on Tuesday.

Now anything but a win against Mexico in Doha tonight will result in Lionel Messi and company crashing out of the tournament – the superstar’s last chance of landing the biggest prize of all in tatters.

Martinez, who has scored 21 goals in 41 appearances, said: “We were in pain because of the Saudi game but you don’t have enough time to dwell.

“We have to be ready to face a really tough opponent. We have to think about winning.
