Man City striker Aguero insists Argentina are underdogs

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero insists Argentina are underdogs going into the World Cup final against Germany.

While Joachim Low's side smashed hosts Brazil 7-1 in their semi-final, Argentina only managed to squeeze past the Netherlands on penalties in Sao Paulo on Wednesday, prompting the Germans to be installed as heavy favourites to win the World Cup for a fourth time.

"Germany were always the favourites, along with Brazil, to win the World Cup," the Manchester City man said.

"They continue to be so now. We need to play our own game and it suits us that all the pressure is on them.

"It is clear that Argentina always go out to win, but sometimes during the game you have to be cautious. We are all aware of what the objective is and we will leave everything on the field to achieve it."
