ā€œWe deserve this, weā€™ve been waiting for this, we work this,ā€ one fan said.

Meanwhile, outside the Loews Hotel in Coral Gables, Argentina fans stood, hoping to get a glimpse of the team and of course, Lionel Messi.

The atmosphere there was a little tense.

ā€œBecause in Argentina, itā€™s a religion, this is not simply a game,ā€ said one fan.

The cheapest tickets found by Local 10 Newsā€™ Christian De La Rosa for the game, as of late Friday afternoon, were over $2,000 while the average price was around $4,000.
