After a scintillating draw with Germany in the first international friendly match, Spain now looks forward to the Argentine side that defeated Italy without Lionel Messi coming to the ground. This may not be the same scenario in this game as well. Spain’s team is young and promising and if the football they showed against the Germans can easily wreck havoc for any other opponents. Argentina will start this match as favourities clearly because of Lionel Messi but a team game as always, is expected from the Spanish side. This game will see two giants of two different continents locking horns with each other in order to determine which team would be the winner after this game.
