GAVIN HOYTE reckons that Maidstone's trip to Ipswich is as big a challenge as facing Lionel Messi in Buenos Aires.
The Stones skipper will lead out the National League South side when they attempt to spring an FA Cup shock against the Championship high-flyers.
And Hoyte (right) says the occasion will match his unforgettable experience with Trinidad & Tobago 10 years ago.
The 33-year-old defender faced a star-studded Argentina in a 2014 World Cup warm-up at River Plate's notorious Estadio Monumental stadium.
The current world champions featured Messi and big names including Angel Di Maria and Javier Mascherano.
Hoyte came off the bench (right, with Ezequiel Lavezzi) to play alongside brother Justin as the Soca Warriors lost 3-0.
