Argentina teammates Di Maria and Lautaro at odds after Saudi Arabia shock

Juventus winger Angel di Maria urged calm after Argentina's shock World Cup defeat to Saudi Arabia.

Di Maria insists there's no reason to panic.

He said, “ At some point it could happen. Now comes Mexico and hopefully we get the three points.

“We could have won 5-0 quietly."

Teammate Lautaro Martinez, of Inter Milan, also said: "It is clear that we lost the game due to our mistakes...This is the World Cup. We have to rest and think about what's coming.

"Defeat hurts a lot. We wanted to start this World Cup by winning... We have to correct, rest, train and think about the two games that follow."
