RIO DE JANEIRO – Argentina came out as the champion America’s Cup 2021 after winning 1-0 over Brazil in the final which was held at the Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday (11/7/2021) morning WIB. Angel Di Maria scored the only goal for Argentina in the 22nd minute.
The above success is a special achievement for the captain of the Argentine National Team (Timnas) Lionel Messi. This is the first trophy Lionel Messi with the Argentine senior national team, since promotion in 2005.
Prior to this, Lionel Messi actually brought La Albiceleste – the nickname of Argentina – to qualify for the finals of major tournaments (World Cup and Copa America). Unfortunately, in the four finals, Lionel Messi and Argentina always lost.
The first final was experienced at the top of the 2007 Copa America. At that time, Argentina lost 0-3 to Brazil in a match that was held in Venezuela.
Then in 2014 it was even more tragic. Argentina and Lionel Messi were defeated by Germany in the top party of the 2014 World Cup!
