“The truth is that I waited a long time for this. And, well, we won the game, which was the important thing. And now to enjoy this (…) I looked for this a long time ago. I dreamed it and, thank God, it was given to me. A unique moment because of how it happened, where it happened (against Brazil in El Maracana), after so much waiting. The truth is that there was no better way for it to be. And being able to be here celebrating is incredible. My mother and my brothers are on the platform, who suffered a lot too. I’m very happy, “said the Albiceleste footballer.
Messi was clearly very moved by this new achievement. The Argentine must have endless records in his football career, but getting one with the selection must have a special additive. It is worth mentioning that Lionel Messi was highly criticized by a part of the Argentine fans for not lead your team to lift trophies. But since Copa América in Brazil, Messi seems to be more than accomplished without a huge and gigantic pressure bag.
🥺🇦🇷 Impossible not to get excited about #Messi: “I dreamed it. I waited a long time for this, I am very happy.”#EliminatorySouth America
