*Stunning Gem* 2024 Lionel Messi #10 Argentina Copa AMERICA 2024 Finals Match Worn Tank VEST vs Colombia (Epic Copa America 2024 FINAL) as Messi was injured in minute 66! See!

Data:

The Rosario star had to be replaced in the final of the 2024 edition against Colombia after claiming physical discomfort throughout the second half; once the attacker, who has eight Ballon d'Ors to his name, saw his number on the fourth referee's board, he could not hide his tears.
And after a clash with Santiago Arias at the end of the first half, Messi informed the coaching staff, headed by Lionel Scaloni, that he was feeling physical discomfort, which is why the coach opted to replace him with Nicolás González in the 66th minute.

Story: The defending champion defended. Lionel Messi cried and laughed. James Rodriguez won hearts. The 2024 Copa America was a roller-coaster of emotions.


In the end, Argentina (La Albiceleste) stood tall and etched its name in the record books.


It would be wrong to say that Argentina entered the Copa America final as the absolute favourite. Colombia, aka Los Cafeteros, impressed with its brand of attacking football throughout the tournament, and began the summit clash in the same manner, choking the Albiceleste with relentless pressing.


Messi & Co. was in choppy waters and it took careful and compact defending to keep Colombia at bay. With plenty of penetrations into the final third, head coach Nestor Lorenzo’s men looked favourites to grab the opening goal.

However, Argentina held on, despite not playing its best football. This has been the story of its journey in this tournament this year — not being able to score more than two goals in any match but still churning out favourable results by sheer grit.

With the scores level after the regulation 90 minutes, the final went into extra time. Until the 111th minute, the nets did not rattle. And then, an immaculate touch from Giovani Lo Celso sent Lautaro Martinez clear on goal.
