Argentina striker Sergio Aguero believes his side will relish the tag of underdogs when they face Germany in the World Cup final in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
The two sides’ contrasting routes to the final has made Joachim Loew’s men heavy favourites to win the World Cup for a fourth time as they smashed hosts Brazil 7-1 in their semi-final, whilst Argentina only squeezed past the Netherlands on a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw.
“Germany were always the favourites, along with Brazil, to win the World Cup,” the Manchester City man said on Thursday.
“They continue to be so now. We need to play our own game and it suits us that all the pressure is on them.”
Aguero is aware they may have to withstand plenty of pressure from the Germans once more at the Maracana.
“We are in the final and we have to play it and win it in whatever way possible. We want to have control of the ball, but we know that Germany is a great team that know each other off by heart having played together for many years.
“It is clear that Argentina always go out to win, but sometimes during the game you have to be cautious.”
