It was stated that Messi's departure from the Argentina camp is not related to injury. Speaking to TyC Sports after the match, he called on his team-mates to continue working hard ahead of next year's World Cup. He said: "It's complicated, we always said that. "The reality is that there is not much time and that's why we have to make the most of it when we're together. "The second half was tough. They pushed up and went looking for us. We have to keep going to strengthen what we have been doing, reinforcing the system the coach wants." Messi tops the Argentina scoring charts and he praised Aguero, who became the all-time leading goalscorer for Manchester City this month, for drawing level with Hernan Crespo in third with his 35th senior international strike.
