Argentina national team

Argentina National Team: Lionel Messi and Argentina have finally overcome their biggest hurdle. The side beat Chile through a late goal to win 1-0 and confirm their place in the quarterfinals of Copa America.

It was at this exact stadium and the same opposition against whom Messi’s side failed to win the Copa America after losing the finals. Messi missed a penalty during the shootout in what was perhaps one of the lowest moments of his career. He had announced his retirement from the Argentina National Team following the game.

Since that devastating loss, the side has won a Copa America trophy (2021) and the 2022 FIFA World Cup cementing his legacy.
