Argentina captain Lionel Messi says he and his team-mates are ready for "the most important match of our lives" against Germany in tomorrow's World Cup final.
"Tomorrow, we will play the most important match of our lives for our country," the Barcelona superstar wrote on his official Facebook page.
"My dreams and my hopes are being fulfilled due to the hard work and sacrifice of a team that has given everything from match one.
"We knew it was possible. Our people, the Argentinians, they have carried us here. But the dream is not over yet. Tomorrow we want to win and we are ready!"
Argentina will be appearing in their first World Cup final since 1990, when as defending champions a side captained by Diego Maradona lost 1-0 to West Germany in Rome.
