Lisandro Martinez has paid tribute to Lionel Messi for inspiring their Argentina side to World Cup glory.
The international team-mates helped the nation become world champions for the third time and the first in 36 years after defeating France in a thrilling final in Qatar via a penalty shootout earlier in December.
While the Manchester United defender was in and out of the team throughout the tournament, Messi played a key role as the team's captain and talisman including scoring seven goals.
