Mexico and Colombia are Argentina s biggest threat for Copa America Centenario glory, according to defender Nicolas Otamendi.
Colombia are already through to the quarter-finals of the special-edition centenary tournament, following wins over the United States and Paraguay.
Mexico, meanwhile, kicked off their campaign with a 3-1 win over 15-time champions Uruguay, and a win against Jamaica on Thursday will seal their spot in the last eight.
Otamendi, fresh from a 2-1 win over Chile in a rematch of the 2015 final, has pin-pointed those two nations as Argentina s biggest challengers.
The Copa has only just started, but Colombia are doing things well. They ve already had two wins, the Manchester City centre-back said.
Mexico have also got a good win, but you can t rule out anyone, and we have to think about ourselves and to focus on making another final.
Argentina are without a major trophy in 23 years, when they clinched the 1993 Copa America title in Ecuador.
We have to be aware and must think game-by-game, but like a lot of people say, we always go out to win a title for Argentina, and hopefully it s this one, Otamendi added.
Captain Lionel Messi missed their opener against Chile, but Otamendi is hopeful the Barcelona star can return for their second Group D match against Panama on Friday.
Not having Leo was important for us, because we still got the three points against a great rival, the 28-year-old said.
But hopefully we can have him back on Friday. Leo is a player that always wants to be on the pitch.
