Gerardo Martino backs his experienced Argentina side to overcome tournament hosts Chile in the final of the Copa America on Saturday.

Gerardo Martino has backed his experienced Argentina side to overcome tournament hosts Chile in the final of the Copa America on Saturday.

Argentina are preparing themselves for their second major final in under a year, after they were beaten 1-0 by Germany in the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil.

However, Martino says that the past experience of reaching the World Cup final will help them overcome the host nation and secure their first trophy in 22 years.

"We have been treated wonderfully here. But this is football. We have to play with the ball and try to win the game," Martino said in a press conference.

"There's an emotional aspect here but the players know all about that because they played in the World Cup final. They know exactly what they are going to face.

"In these cases, the importance of the prize tends to divert the attention away from the match, so I think the best thing we can do is to ensure we play like the team we are usually."

Chile have only beaten Argentina once in their last 14 meetings and are yet to win the Copa America.
