Argentina wins its first Copa America since 1993

Argentina won the 2021 Copa America on July 11, 2021, defeating Brazil 1-0 in the final. The victory was Argentina’s first major title in 28 years and Lionel Messi’s first international trophy with the senior team.

Messi's long-awaited international triumph

But on Saturday night, Messi finally got his hands on a major trophy with Argentina. He was named the player of the tournament and scored four goals in the competition, including the winning goal in the final.

A victory for the entire country

Argentina’s victory was celebrated throughout the country. Thousands of fans took to the streets of Buenos Aires to celebrate, and the team was greeted by a hero’s welcome upon their return home.

The victory was a major boost for Argentina, which has been struggling with economic and political problems in recent years. The team’s success brought the country together and gave Argentines a reason to celebrate.
