Lionel Messi having a wonderful career at club side Barcelona was not even enough for him to be seen or classify to so many as one the football GOAT.
The likes of Diego Maradona and Pele of Brazil were impressed by so many people as they were so successful on both club and national teams. With no doubt, Lionel messi is a wonderful player that has a lot of records and individual awards to his name but his failed attempt to win any international trophy for his country has raised a lot of eyebrows with a lot of people losing confidence in him.
Lionel Messi has played several international games still yet he never gets his aim, sometimes it looks like a mission impossible to him and Argentina. LIONEL Messi came close to winning the 2014 world cup with Argentina but unfortunately, he was denied of the award by the German.
The Barcelona talisman lost 3 consecutive finals in a row with Argentina, one from the world cup and the other two was on Copa America. The final loss in the Copa America was all against Chile.
He was tagged as someone that will never win anything with his National team. Many saw him as a failure and also an incomplete player.
Many supporters and fans lost hope in Lionel Messi.
He doesn’t have enough personalities in other to be a leader “Maradona”
He felt so heartbroken for not winning anything with Argentina senior team, This frustration even leads to Messi wanting to retire from the National team, many Argentina fan was so disappointed with Messi when he missed a penalty that against Chile but he didn’t stop fighting and believing.
Cristiano Ronaldo which is his greatest reveal in football has won an international trophy with the Portugal senior team, winning the EURO 2018
The just ended Copa America might probably be his last Copa America for Argentina. He was expected to make use of it.
Finally, it has a happy ending for the 34 years old as he finally claimed his first international senior trophy with Argentina, I must say that was one of his happiest moments in life.
Which includes
Copa America best player
Highest goal scored
Top assist
I must say that this was the best Copa America for Lionel Messi. An international trophy was the only thing that makes him incomplete as the GOAT of football, winning this award now makes him the greatest of all time.
Winning that award makes him one of the favorite contestants for the upcoming Balon D'or. The 34-year-old might be given again the award for the 7th time, and two above his rival Ronaldo.
Messi story shows that everything will eventually get better when the right time comes. Am a Messi fan and am so happy for him because I knew how badly he needed that international trophy is to him.
