Argentina secures the Copa America title as Lionel Messi shatters the “world record” for titles

In the Copa America 2024 final, Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0, led by Lionel Messi, who is widely regarded as the “GOAT.” Messi won his third consecutive international trophy. Due to an ankle injury in the second half, Messi had to be substituted, virtually bringing the tournament to an unfortunate conclusion. After Lautaro Martinez scored the game-winning goal in extra time, Messi sobbed on the bench while his teammates came up to give him the trophy. With his 45th career award, Messi broke Dani Alves of Brazil to become the most decorated footballer of all time—a significant “world record.”
