Messi Injures, Asks for Argentine’s Substitute, Cries in Copa America Final


Jersey 10 tripped alone and suffered a muscle injury

In the Copa America decider between Argentina and Colombia, Lionel Messi requested a substitution 20 minutes into the second half due to injury. The number 10 stumbled while trying to mark Mojica and suffered a muscle injury.




In the first half, the star had already worried the fans with an action involving Santiago Arias. In a tackle, the attacking midfielder remained stretched out on the pitch for a few minutes, but returned to the pitch limping.

When he was substituted, Messi threw his boot onto the pitch and began to cry bitterly on the bench. At the stadium, the player’s fans began to chant the number 10’s name in support.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has chosen Nico González to replace his star. Messi ends the Copa América with just one goal scored in the tournament’s semi-final against Canada.
