A year ago, the 2021 Copa America final ended at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the result was known to everyone, Argentina won the 15th Copa America trophy in team history with the goal of Angel Di Maria 1:0 to host Brazil, and we witnessed the most glorious moment of the mayang king's career together, that is:
Won the national team championship for the first time!
For this moment, Messi has been painstakingly pursuing for 16 years, during which time, there have been 2 times only one step away, but unfortunately they have passed by, namely:
1. Runner-up in the 2007 Copa America in Venezuela
Argentina won all 3 games in the group stage to advance to the top 8, and the knockout rounds were 4:0, 3:0 lianke Peru and Mexico to reach the final, but unfortunately, the final fell 0:3 at the feet of the old enemy Brazil, and Messi passed by the Copa America for the first time.
2. Runner-up in the 2015 Copa America in Chile
Argentina went unbeaten in 3 matches in the group stage to advance to the quarter-finals, and eliminated Colombia and Paraguay 5:4, 6:1 in the knockout rounds to reach the final, but unfortunately the penalty in the final fell 1:4 at the feet of host Chile, and Messi passed the Copa America for the second time.
As the saying goes: "Again and again, no more than three", Messi finally completed a major leap in the national team career in the third Copa America final, ending the embarrassment of the national team without a championship for 16 years and opening a new chapter in his career.
A year later, in the final of the third European and American Cup, the ST America's Cup champion Argentina and the European Cup champion Italy staged a peak duel at Wembley Stadium, and finally the Blue and White Army swept the Blue and White Army 3:0, becoming the king of kings, after 29 years, the team won the European and American Cup again.
At this point, Messi once again completed a major leap forward in the national team career, and we witnessed another brilliant moment in the career of Mei Qiu Wang, that is:
#Merlot Controversy #Welcome the second championship of the national team career, the number of national team championships equals the good friend C Ronaldo, and the two return to the same running line.
In just one year, Messi has won the Copa America and the European and American Cups, and the number of personal career championships has reached 40 (4 championships for the national team and 36 for the club, which is 5 more than the good friend C Ronaldo).
At present, Messi has achieved grand slams in the league, Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup at the club, and the national team has also won the World Youth Championship, olympic games, America's Cup and European and American Cups, only one Hercules Cup away from the Grand Slam.
Therefore, Messi's next goal - qatar World Cup, looking forward to the last World Cup in his career to achieve his dream.
Once upon a time, Messi was only one step away from the Hercules Cup, but unfortunately it eventually passed by:
Eight years ago, in the World Cup in Brazil, the Blue and White Argentines won all three games in the group stage to advance to the round of 16, and the knockout rounds successively eliminated Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands to reach the final (1:0, 1:0, penalty 4:2), but unfortunately, the final fell 0:1 at the foot of the German chariot, messi and hercules cup passed.
That scene is still hard to forget, and it has always been a lingering pain in Messi's heart.
I sincerely hope that this time in Qatar, Messi can advance to the final as desired, and finally win the king!
