Lionel Messi has admitted that failing to win the World Cup final last year, is something he and the rest of his Argentina team-mates will regret forever.

Mario Gotze scored an extra time winner for Germany, as they beat the Albiceleste 1-0 to win the competition.

“What can I say? It’s a pity, we had so many good chances to win the game,” Messi said.

“We had the better chances and we’ll regret the chances we had but couldn’t score for the rest of our lives.”

Although Messi was praised for his early performances at the tournament, he failed to light up the tournament as it ended and won the Golden Ball controversially.

The Barcelona man is also very aware, that it has certainly his last chance to clinch the trophy that is missing from his CV.
