Is There Too Much Pressure On Lionel Messi?

Argentina find themselves in the middle of worries as they have dropped two very vital points to Iceland. The two-time-champions are yet to face Croatia, their biggest challenge in the group.

From here on, the team cannot afford to drop even a single point if there are planning to stay in Russia for the knock-outs.

The team’s talisman, Lionel Messi was heavily man-marked against Iceland due to which the team struggled for creativity. The South Americans have been over-relying on him in the past 12 months.

Messi went onto miss a penalty in the last outing which called for attention to the fact that he cannot do it all by himself. Despite being a great footballer there only a little he can do about a team which struggles to score a single goal in his absence.
