The Argentine marksman is set to make his full international debut with Diego Maradona's team on Saturday against Peru in a World Cup qualifier.

"I am proud to be in both teams, who have excellent players," Higuain told Ole.

"But in the national team, there is an extra buzz that Real Madrid doesn't give you, which is to play in your colours - those of your country.

"To be able to defend them gives me enormous pride, so I want to grab this opportunity."
