“Messi’s long pursuit of a major trophy with Argentina finally climaxed in this Copa América final against arch-rivals Brazil at the Maracanã. Even without a goal or assist on the night, his leadership, work rate, and emotional release at the final whistle turned this 1–0 win into one of the defining milestones of his international career.”
