Copa America 2024: Lionel Messi's Record With Argentina
Argentina won their second straight Copa America championship, overcoming Lionel Messi's second-half ankle injury to beat Colombia 1-0 on Lautaro Martinez's 112th-minute goal. Messi appeared to sustain a non-contact injury while running and falling in the 64th minute and covered his face with his hands when he sat on the bench. Martinez later ran to that bench to hug his captain after the goal that propelled Argentina to their record 16th Copa title on Sunday night. The world champions won their third straight major title following the 2021 Copa America and 2022 FIFA World Cup and matched Spain, who won the 2008 and 2012 European Championships around the 2010 World Cup.
