2024.07.15
Messi’s Argentina has now won the Copa America twice and World Cup in succession between 2021 and 2024.
After defeating Colombia 1-0 at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, Argentina accomplished a remarkable achievement by winning the 2024 Copa America championship.
Albiceleste became the first South American country to accomplish a remarkable hat-trick when they won their second consecutive Copa following their 2021 triumph, which came between their 2022 World Cup victory.
With 16 Copa titles won, Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, now has more than Uruguay thanks to their 2024 championship.
After winning the World Cup in 2010, the Euro 2008, and the Euro 2012 in quick succession, Argentina became the second side to accomplish a three-peat.
Coincidentally, Spain defeated England in the Sunday Berlin final to win the European Championships.
This prepares the winners of Europe and South America for the Finalissima in 2025.
“I don’t know if it marks an era, but it’s true this team never ceases to surprise,” said Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni. “They overcame the difficulties of a very difficult match, with a very complicated opponent and without a good first half.”
“It’s satisfying to watch them play, and I’m eternally grateful for the way they give their all. In the second half, I think we improved and deserved to win, and then always in extra time, the team always finds something extra.”
