Croatia and Liverpool centre back Dejan Lovren is relishing the chance to play against one of 'the biggest players in the world' on Thursday, when Croatia are set to face Argentina at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium in Group D's second round of games.
Croatia recorded a comfortable 2-0 win against Nigeria in Kaliningrad, while Argentina were only able to draw 1-1 against Iceland in their opening game.
A victory for the Blazers on Thursday should guarantee them a place in the knockout rounds, but Lovren knows it will be tough against an Argentinian side which boasts the talents of Lionel Messi.
