Argentina 36 game unbeaten streak came to an end after a 2 1 loss to Saudi Arabia, and Lionel Messi has confessed that his team has no excuses. South America, who was largely regarded as one of the heavy favorites to win the trophy in Qatar next month, was defeated by Saudi Arabia in a remarkable 2 1 comeback triumph. According to Argentina official Twitter account, a stunned Messi said that it is a terrible blow for everyone after the game. We understood that (Saudi) Arabia is a squad with good players, that moves the ball effectively, and that pushes the line a lot, the star player for Paris Saint Germain stated. We work on it, but we move a little quicker. There are none to offer. We are going to be more united than ever. This group is strong and they have shown it. It is a situation that we did not have to go through in a long time. Now we have to show that this is a real group a very hard blow for everyone, we did not expect to start like this. Things happen for a reason. We have to prepare for what is coming, we have to win or win and it depends on us. We have to go back to the base of who we are. We have to think about what is to come. Saudi Arabia claimed their first victory at the World Cup since 1994, while ending Argentina 36 game unbeaten streak.
