Pablo Zabaleta gave everything to ensure Argentina earned their place in the World Cup Final.

And it well and truly took its toll judging by this selfie he posted after the final whistle in Sao Paulo.

The tireless full back spilt blood, sweat and quite possibility tears as the Albicelestes set up the winner-takes-all clash with Germany on Sunday.

Sporting a bloodied bandage around his mouth - and rather fetching blue hair - Zabaleta doesn't look especially delighted.

But the corresponding message told the real story: "Orgulloso de ser ARGENTINO!!!!"

"Proud to be Argentinean!!"
