“There’s not much to say when it comes to Argentina,” Lewandowski said.
“They’re a huge team and one of the favourites to win the tournament in my opinion. With an absolute legend like Lionel Messi as their figurehead, there’s no doubt that will be our toughest match.
“It’ll be great to take on such a great side with such talented players.”
Messi has scored 90 goals in 164 games for Argentina. He has scored eight goals and recorded eight assists in 14 games in all competitions for Paris Saint-Germain this season.
