Argentina were looking to make it back-to-back World Cup tournament victories but were beaten 1-0 by Spain in extra time.

NFL great Tom Brady described the photos as “very prophetic”.

Switzerland looked up to the challenge of the defending champions in the first 10 minutes of the match, dominating possession but unable to find a way through the Argentinian defence.

He was denied in a one-on-one by Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane and had a penalty appeal turned down before joining Germany’s Klose in a share of the record.

The club are based in the south-west of Barcelona, where Messi made his name in a 17-senior career.
