Diego Maradona: 'Germany are not invincible'

Diego Maradona has claimed that beating Germany in Sunday's World Cup final is not "mission impossible" for Argentina.

Joachim Low's side flashed their title credentials by thumping host nation Brazil 7-1 in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday to move one step away from ending a 24-year barren spell at the finals.

Consequently, Maradona feels that the Germans' "egos will be enlarged" as a result of their emphatic win and hopes that his compatriots can capitalise.

"The match against Germany will not be a mission impossible. It is not impossible to beat them," Maradona said during his show on Telesur.

"The German egos will be enlarged by their 7-1 win over Brazil. Their overconfidence could be a good thing for Argentina."

Sunday's clash at the Maracana is scheduled to kick off at 8pm.
