Leo Messi has appeared in an interview with TyC Sports to speak about the World Cup. The Argentine player is excited at having the chance to win football's biggest prize again. 

The Barça star is desperate to win the one thing he's never won and has promied to "walk to San Nicolas" if Argentina manage to achieve it. 

Messi would have to walk 68km from Roseo to San Nicolas to complete his promise, around a 14 hour walk. It's a city famous for its religious tourism. Millions of pilgrims walk their each year. 

 

The pilgrimage site named in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás erected in San Nicolás de los Arroyos is one of the most important in Argentina.
