On Sunday, Argentia defeated Colombia in the Copa America Final. It was a closely fought match as both the teams gave their best. However, Lautaro Martínez kept his nerves and scored the winner in the 112th minute of the game. The Argentines have now successfully defended their Copa America Title and their Captain, their Leader has become the most decorated player in the history of this beautiful game.
Lionel Messi now has 45 major titles, one more than his friend Dani Alves. During the final Messi got injured and was forced to leave the ground. There were tears in his eyes. However, at the end of the day the tears of pain turned into tears of joy as the men in blue and white defended their title. James Rodriguez tried his best but could not stop the Argenrtines. However, for his remarkable performance in the tournament he was awarded the Player of the Tournament Award.
Interestingly Messi lost 3 finals back-to-back in 2014,15 and 16. The defeat of 2016 broke him so bad that he announced retirement from International Football. However, later he reversed his decision, and it turned out to be the best. Argentina has now 4 International Titles on a trot. No team on planet Earth has achieved a similar feat.
All Hail King Leo.
