The Argentines revealed that they will look back to memories of their superstar Diego Maradona who passed away about this time two years back. They will draw inspiration from their 1986 World Cup-winning captain to move past the Mexicans.

“We keep him in mind. He was a very important person in world football, and not just for us Argentines,” said Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez.
