Lionel Messi’s Remarkable Win In Copa America Final After 28-Yr Long Wait Sets Twitter On Fire

Yesterday (10 July 2021) was a very big day for fans of football, especially for the Argentinean football fans as their team won the Copa America Cup after defeating Brazil by 1-0 in the finals which was played at Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

What makes this victory more special is the fact that it is after 28 years that Argentina has won any major international trophy as it was 1993 when last time Argentina won the Copa America after defeating Mexico by 2-1 in the finals.

The fans are also very happy for their favourite footballer, Lionel Messi who has been an integral part of the Argentinean team since 2009. The 34 years old footballer who also plays for Barcelona Club and is a six-time Ballon d’Or winner has lost four big finals- three Copa America finals (2007, 2015, 2016) and the 2014 World Cup final before he got lucky enough to hold the trophy of Copa America in his hands.

For some football fans, the debate of who the GOAT (greatest of all times) is between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has also come to an end with this win of Argentina as for them, Lionel Messi is the GOAT now. There is no doubt that it is the biggest victory of Lionel Messi’s career and it is also true that his contribution towards Argentinean football has been immense.

There was one more moment which brought tears in eyes of football fans. Neymar Junior, the Brazilian footballer who is a good friend of Messi, came to him while the whole Argentinean team was celebrating their victory. On one hand, Neymar congratulated Messi on winning Copa America and on the other, Messi hugged him tight to console him.

Here is that emotional moment which has been captured in this video clip:

Check out some tweets in which fans have expressed their happiness over Argentina’s win in Copa America:
