Argentina stun World Champions Spain in friendly

The Barcelona star opened the scoring after just nine minutes and further goals from Gonzalo Higuain three minutes later and Carlos Tevez after 34 minutes gave the South Americans a stunning 3-0 lead at half-time.

The second half was a quieter affair with Fernando Llorente pulling one back for the Spaniards after 83 minutes before Sergio Aguero produced the final margin in injury time.

Batista has been given until the end of the year to prove himself.

Spain, though, were without goalkeeper Iver Casillas and fielded only one of the back-four defenders who started against the Netherlands in the World Cup final.

Messi struck the first blow with a superb goal in nine minutes after which he kissed his shirt in celebration to the delight of the home fans who have doubted his commitment to the national team.

"We were sent packing from South Africa, but we could just as well have won the World Cup," he said.

"If Spain this evening did not look like the side that won the World Cup, then the way Argentina played had a lot to do with that.

"We played the way we wanted to play."

Del Bosque said that there was no shame for Spain in losing to Argentina.

"We lost with dignity and never gave up trying," he said.

"Argentina were very fast up front, they move well and it was normal that they controlled the game. They hardly left us any room to play in."
