Lionel Messi admitted Argentina had no complaints but were “suffering” after their “painful” defeat by Saudi Arabia, in what was one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.

Messi's early penalty was equalised by Saleh Al Shehri after half-time before Salem Al-Dawsari scored a stunning goal to give Saudi Arabia victory.
