Barcelona midfielder, Pedri, has predicted that Lionel Messi-led Argentina squad has the capability to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The tournament in Qatar is set to kick off on 20 November and Argentina will start their campaign against Saudi Arabia on 22 November.
The La Albiceleste are in Group C and will also face Mexico and Poland on 27 November and 1 December, respectively.
Messi had already led Argentina to the finals of the FIFA World Cup back in 2014, where they lost to Germany following Mario Gotze’s exquisite extra-time goal.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was named the player of the tournament on that occasion and lifted the golden ball award.
Speaking about the favourite country to win the World Cup this year, Pedri did not mention Spain but backed Argentina to win the tournament.
