#5 Argentina should win this for Messi
Trending
Another year and another major final, Argentina have romped to the Copa America Centenario finale and the onus is now on them to avoid getting third time lucky. Follwing two back-to-back heart breaks in the 2014 World Cup and 2015 Copa America finals, La Albiceleste have another chance to break their long wait for an interntional trophy, but it wouldn’t mean more to anyone else but their captain fantastic, Lionel Messi.
The Barcelona wizard has lifted every possible trophy with his club, but he is yet to win anything with his country. And after several near misses, the 28-year old stands on the cusp of finally breaking the hoodoo.
Much has been said about his failure to deliver with Argentina, but having performed to his optimal this year, only a trophy will suffice now, and Argentina should collectively come up, like they’ve done so far, in the final regardless of whom they face and win it for their captain.
It’s obviously going to be the otherway round as Messi would give it all to help his side end the trophy drought, but a triumph would mean more special to him than to any other Argentine alive and kicking.
