do not lose hope

SAINT PETERSBURG: Lionel Messi admitted to having survived the most nerve-wracking 90 minutes of his career as Marcus Rojo's stunning finish four minutes kept his and Argentina's World Cup hopes alive with a 2-1 win over Nigeria to reach the last 16.

"I don't remember such suffering," said Messi when asked if it was the most tense match of his career. "It was due to the situation and what we were playing for."
