How is Lionel Messi’s ankle?
There is no major update on how Lionel Messi’s ankle is. However, Messi seemed to be limping after the game but otherwise in excellent spirits. He celebrated alongside colleagues Nicolás Ottamendi and Ángel Di María, clapping and laughing as they raised the trophy.
Messi scored one goal in his 39th and likely final Copa America appearance. He fell in the 36th minute after Santiago Arias grabbed his left ankle, but he returned to the pitch three minutes later.
Messi had been struggling with a leg ailment and discomfort for most of the competition, missing Argentina's group stage final. He attempted one shot in the first half on Sunday.
Lionel Messi overtook Dani Alves as the player with the most titles in football history
Lionel Messi earned his 45th senior trophy with Argentina after winning the Copa America in 2024, surpassing Dani Alves as the player with the most trophies in football history.
Messi's first taste of silverware came in 2005 when he won the U-20 FIFA World Cup and the 2004-05 La Liga title with Barcelona. Since then, the Argentinian forward has won several Copa Americas, Champions Leagues, and the renowned FIFA World Cup.
Argentina won their third consecutive major trophy, following the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup, and equaled Spain, which won the 2008 and 2012 European Championships around the 2010 World Cup. The match began 1 hour and 22 minutes late at Hard Rock Stadium due to crowd disturbance.
