Argentina captain Lionel Messi said on Monday his generation has a score to settle at the World Cup in Russia after a series of agonizing near misses in major tournaments.
"The debt we owe is to ourselves, not to the people. We always give our all, we reached three finals. We haven't been far off," Messi said in an interview with Fox Sports.
Argentina lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany 1-0 after extra time and then finished runner-up at successive Copa America tournaments, losing to Chile on penalties in 2015 and 2016.
