Switzerland's national team is gearing up to face Lionel Messi and Argentina in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final. To prepare for this monumental clash, Murat Yakin's squad underwent another highly intensive training session.
On paper, the match appears to be a significant mismatch. Argentina boasts a rich history of glory, star players, and numerous trophies, while the Swiss have never even reached a World Cup semi-final. In fact, their last quarter-final appearance was in 1954, when they were eliminated by Austria in a tournament they hosted.
Murat Yakin's men will be hoping to draw inspiration from their Round of 16 victory, where they knocked out another South American side, Colombia, after a penalty shootout.
The winner of this encounter will face either Norway or England on Wednesday in Atlanta, vying for a spot in the World Cup final.
