SIf winning his first World Cup costs blood, sweat and tears, the same can be said about the Copa America. Until the sixth participation, in 2021, Messi did not lift the Campine title with Argentina. Before that, she lost three finals (2007, 2015 and 2016), third place (2019) and elimination in the quarterfinals (2011). Along the way, 34 matches and 13 goals.
The 2021 final had all the necessary components for a history retreat: a place in Brazil, a match in the legendary maracan, Brazil and Argentina for the title… Angel de Mara’s goal in the 22nd minute was enough to win the title.
Thus, after years of constant striving for glory with his national team, with two hits, in 2021 and 2022, Messi managed to conquer two great titles for the national team. But the Cherry was missing from 2024, when the America’s Cup became his again, beating Colombia in the grand final. And in 2026 he is looking forward to the World Cup. It will be a special culmination of the career of the legend named Lionel Anders Messi-cochetini.
