For a long time, many people were against Messi because he lacked an international title with Argentina. Messi has all the individual and collective titles at the club level, but Messi’s international career is a complete zero… before 2021.

But Messi erased that argument by leading Argentina to the Copa America title last year, scoring 4 goals, 5 assists in the tournament and becoming the top scorer as well as the best player of the 2021 Copa America. After that, Messi and Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 in the World Super Cup match between the South American champion and the European champion.

Messi’s victory with Argentina at the Copa America is the main subject of a new Netflix documentary, not yet released in the UK. During the program, Messi was shown footage of the moment he celebrated with the crowd, who were chanting his name.

Lionel Messi began to get emotional and teary-eyed as he said: ‘Wow. I think this is the best thing that has happened in my sports career’.

A clip in Netflix’s documentary about Lionel Messi shows the Argentina superstar saying emotional words in the team’s dressing room before the 2021 Copa America final with host Brazil (Argentina won 1-0).

Lionel Messi stimulates the spirit of his teammates in the Argentina team: ’45 days without seeing our families, boys. We have a goal and we are just one small step away from achieving it.

There are no coincidences, guys. Do you know, this trophy is for Argentina and God brought it here.

God brought the trophy here so that we can lift it at the Maracana, boys, so that it can be more beautiful for everyone. So go out with confidence and calm because we’re going to bring this home’.

Before Argentina won the 2021 Copa America, Messi and his teammates received defeat in 3 consecutive Copa America finals and 1 World Cup final (lost 0-1 to Germany in the 2014 World Cup).

Lionel Messi and his teammates are aiming for the 2022 World Cup finals. Messi is currently injured and cannot play for PSG. However, the possibility of Messi being absent at the 2022 World Cup is impossible.
