Messi and Cristiano set to meet again on November 18

Argentina’s national coach, Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, has announced his squad for their forthcoming international matches. Both matches are friendly matches and will be played on British soil in mid-November. On November 12 Argentina will face Croatia in London and six days later, on November 18, they will face Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester, at Cristiano’s former home Old Trafford.
