Lionel Messi has finally done it. After so many championship final heartbreaks with Argentina, the 34-year-old won his first major title with his national team after a 1-0 win over archrival Brazil in the 2021 Copa America final Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro.
The Copa America triumph ended a 28-year drought for Argentina, which last won the title in 1993. It also marked the first time Brazil has failed to win a Copa America tournament that it has hosted.
