Copa America 2019: Huge pressure on Messi, how is Argentina shaping up ahead of facing Venezuela in the Quarter Final?
XtraTime Web Desk: Enormous pressure on the superstar, but Lionel Messi cut a relaxed figure as Argentina prepared for their Copa America quarter-final clash with Venezuela.
The squad ran through a series of training drills at their base in Rio de Janeiro ahead of Friday's fixture.
Argentina have endured a difficult tournament so far, losing 2-0 to Colombia in the opening match, before a 1-1 draw against Bolivia and only secured progress as runners-up in Group B by defeating Qatar 2-0.
This year, any quarter-final match tied after 90 minutes will go directly to penalties, with extra-time to be reintroduced for the semi-finals and final.
The Barcelona star is aiming for a first trophy with his country, having reached the Copa America finals in 2007, 2015 and 2016.
