The talk show queen had an inspirational message for the Argentine icon.

After their heartbreak from losing the 2014 World Cup final, Argentina fans will be hoping to end their long wait for silverware when the 2018 tournament begins. However, the struggles of Messi and Co. in the qualifying round will have many worried.

La Pulga is on a mission to win his first major title with the national side and will be keen to achieve this goal in Russia, but faces a tougher task this time around. Ahead of the tournament’s kick-off, he has received support from an unlikely source: Oprah Winfrey.

The American talk show queen was asked about the highly-anticipated tournament by Argentine presenter Barbie Simons during an interview about the new move, “A Wrinkle in Time”. This is when the 64-year-old offered the five-time Ballon d’Or winner inspirational advice.

"Messi, you already know this," she said.

"You go deep, you go deep, and you find the strength inside yourself.

"Messi, be a warrior."

The Barcelona superstar will, again, be the go-to guy for Jorge Sampaoli in the 2018 World Cup. Currently, the manager is preparing his side for a friendly against Italy which could help them improve their form.
