I saw Messi crying on the bench after being pulled out due to an ankle injury, he was worried that Argentina would lose without him but luckily in extra time Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal for Argentina's victory as well as winning the Coppa America this is the umpteenth trophy Messi has won he is really lucky.
Suppose Messi will retire in Argentina he will not regret it because he has got an important trophy at the end of his career World Cup and Copa America, and in addition Angel Di Maria has announced he will retire so this is a trophy for the last time, I hope Messi is still strong to face the 2026 World Cup.
It seems that Messi injury is quite serious, he can no longer endure the pain as his ankle becomes increasingly swollen. Concern was clearly visible on Messi's face after he was withdrawn, he was afraid that his teammates would be mentally down after he was no longer with them, especially since Colombia played very aggressively and had several dangerous attacks. Lautaro Martinez became the hero of Argentina victory after scoring the only goal in this final, he also won the individual trophy as top scorer in the Copa America this time.
Previously, Messi shocked the world of football with his decision to retire from the Argentine national team. He seemed to feel hopeless about the situation that was happening at that time, failure after failure kept coming his way while defending his country. However, Messi took back his decision and returned to defend his country. This decision seemed to be a blessing for him, he has managed to win 2X Copa Americas, 1X World Cup and 1X Finalissima.
Next, Argentina will meet Spain in the next edition of the Finalissima. If Argentina manages to win the trophy, it will extend the series of trophies that Messi has presented to Argentina.
