The Argentine star had to be taken off the pitch for a few moments. He then returned to the pitch, but not in his best physical condition.
Lionel Messi sounds the alarm during the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia. The transandean star suffered a shocking twisted ankle after an argument with Santiago Arias. When the Argentine fell to the ground, during the fall, he got stuck and it was very complicated. The Albiceleste doctors entered immediately.
When he was being treated, the Flea was showing the worst signs. He put his hands over his face in pain and then limped off the field. After a few moments he returned to the field of play. However, in the last minutes of the first half he was far from showing his best version. He remained more static in the attacking zone.
As the final approaches, the Inter Miami footballer gave an interview to DSports and presented his impressions on the performance of the team he leads.There is a competition, an intensity, a desire to give everything in each training session. The one who plays in turn acts in the same way. “We stand out for the competitiveness we have in every game. We can play well or badly, but this group is competitive. It competes with anyone,” he said.
Regarding his future, the man from Rosario stressed: “At the moment, I don’t like to think further. I enjoy and see day by day what happens to me and what we achieve. I had a great time 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 the moment when it has to be, until I feel that it is no longer enough. In this Copa América I was doing well and the injury made me change my plans. It was not as I expected or wanted. Now we have the opportunity to play another final. Enjoy it and with the responsibility of giving the maximum to achieve it.
