Lionel Messi’s inconsolable tears after leaving Copa America final due to injury

The Argentine footballer suffered a complication in his ankle after twisting it in the first half and eventually went off in the second half after tripping due to the poor state of play on the pitch at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.

Lionel Messi cries again on the substitutes’ bench in the Copa America final in the United States. The transandean star left the final due to injury and was replaced by Nicolás González. He suffered an ankle complication in the first half, following a sprain after an argument with Santiago Arias. Then, in the second half, the terrible pitch played tricks on him.

This is most likely Rosario’s last match in the highest continental competition. In his history he has not been able to register goals in definitions. He played the finals against Brazil (2), Chile (2) and this Sunday against Colombia. No celebrations of their own. Their best day, yes, was at the Maracaná, when they beat Brazil. That day, the hero was Ángel Di María.

On that occasion, the cameras filmed his inconsolable tears. In addition, he was seen with ice on his right ankle. “At the moment, I don’t like to think beyond that. I enjoy and see day by day, what happens to me and what we achieve. I had a very great stage in the national team, where I suffered because the results were not given. We had a bad time. Now, I enjoy everyday life. It will be until it is necessary, until I feel that it is no longer enough,” he said before the duel.
