After Argentina’s 2-0 win against Canada, Lionel Messi hinted at retirement, expressing that he is savoring his final moments in the Albiceleste jersey. Messi, who had not scored in the tournament until this match, finally broke his Copa America goal drought, with Julian Alvarez also scoring, leading Argentina to their third consecutive final in a major tournament.
In his post-match interview, Messi acknowledged the significance of these moments, noting the difficulty of reaching another final and the importance of enjoying every moment. He praised the team’s efforts, particularly given the challenging conditions they faced.
Messi’s illustrious career with Argentina includes winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 2021 Copa America, and the 2022 UEFA Cup of Champions. He also has an Olympic gold medal from the 2008 Beijing Games.
Argentina will play the Copa America final on July 14 in Miami Gardens, Florida, against Uruguay or Colombia. A victory would make Argentina the nation with the most Copa America titles in history, surpassing Uruguay with 15 titles.
