Lionel Messi is likely to play the last 15-20 minutes of the World Cup as a substitute, Poland's oleksandr Piechniczek said in an interview after the draw for the Qatar World Cup group stage.

"If Messi was five or six years younger, I would be more interested in this game (Poland vs Argentina)," Piechniczek said. But to be honest, Messi is getting older now and he is not as good as he was before."

"I don't know what Messi will bring to Argentina at the World Cup or what role he will play. Maybe Messi will come on as a substitute in the last 15-20 minutes."

"Of course, hopefully he will have a good game, I can't rule it out. He is not the same Messi since he put on the PSG shirt."

Lewandowski's Poland will face Lionel Messi's Argentina in the final group stage of the Qatar World Cup.
