"We have grown a lot as a team in the past year, and as a result we are stronger," Messi said. "We've been in spectacular form up to now, now it's up to us to do it again. We don't feel any pressure; we're used to playing in finals — unfortunately we haven't won one yet," he added.
Chile had beaten Argentina via penalties in the Copa America final last year.
