The Super Eagles served Jorge Sampaoli's men a surprise 4-2 defeat, with the Barcelona star man absent.
Angel Di Maria believes Lionel Messi's absence eased Nigeria to a victory over Argentina.
Gernot Rohr's side fought back from a two-goal deficit to hand a 4-2 defeat to La Albiceleste in November's friendly encounter at Krasnodar.
“Everybody has a good time in the clubs and in the national team when Leo is not there all of us want to assume that role, but being so used to playing with him it is difficult when he is not in.
“We all try to do our best, good first half against Nigeria and then the game got away, it got out of hand but at times we do things right.”
