Messi not worried by lack of goals

He failed to find the net during the comprehensive victory over La Albirroja at the Estadio Ester Roa but insisted that the team's impeccable display more than made up for it.

"I am not too worried that I did not score any goals. We played a complete game," Messi told reporters after the match.

"We did what we were doing in the previous matches. We follow the same idea.

"We fulfilled the first objective of being in another final. We are very excited that we can be champions."

The victory set up a date with hosts Chile in the final at the Estadio Nacional on 4th of july.

Messi - who has scored just one goal so far at Copa América 2015 - is predicting a tight encounter and revealed his eagerness to get his hands on a trophy with Argentina.

"It is a final and I am hopeful. It will be a close game," he added.

"Winning the Copa would round off something spectacular. I really want to win something with the national team."

Despite the manner of their semi-final win, Javier Mascherano does not feel that they will have the upper hand on La Roja in Santiago on Saturday.

"Now we are not going back. We will continue to play our way," he said.

"We are going to play a final, not a war. We are brotherly countries.

"I do not see a clear favourite in the final. Whoever does the best things will be the winner."
