Argentina has won the title by defeating last time Copa America champion Brazil. This is the first time since 1993 that Argentina has managed to win the Copa America title. Along with this, Lionel Messi has also been successful in getting Argentina a big title on the international stage for the first time. Argentina beat Brazil 1-0. Lionel Messi has been voted the best player of the Copa America 2021. Messi, however, will share this award with Brazil’s star player Neymar.
However, there was a very tough competition between Brazil and Argentina. But Argentina took an early lead and managed to become the Copa America champion after a long gap of 28 years. For Argentina, star striker Di Maria scored in the 22nd minute to give the team the lead and that proved to be the deciding factor in the end.
However, attempts were made from Brazil to return to the match. Brazil was attacking Argentina continuously after falling behind by a goal. Brazil kept the ball for 60 percent of the time of the match. But he could not manage to score and he lost the match.
This is Argentina’s first major victory under Messi. With this victory, Messi’s dream of getting Argentina a big title at the international level has also been fulfilled.
Messi was so broken after the loss of the 2016 Copa Cup final that he announced his retirement. But on the appeal of the fans, Messi returned. Argentina’s performance in the 2018 World Cup was disappointing. But now by winning the Copa America final, Messi finally put a big title in Argentina’s bag.
