Five-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi suffered more World Cup heartbreak with Argentina as he was no match for France's firepower in a thrilling 4-3 World Cup last-16 defeat today.
Messi only scored once in Russia and is still yet to net in the knockout stages of a World Cup.
Widely considered one of the greatest players ever, the Barcelona star is still looked upon unfavourably by many in his homeland compared to Diego Maradona, who led Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986.
Messi turned 31 last week and his best chance of ending Argentina's 25-year wait to win a major tournament may now be gone.
Here, AFP Sport looks at Messi's biggest disappointments with Argentina.
