After Cristiano Ronaldo's tearful penalty miss with Portugal at Euro 2024, his eternal rival Lionel Messi has been seen in an emotionally charged state. During the Copa America final, he was forced to leave the field due to a serious injury to his right ankle.
The captain of the Argentine national team tried to continue the game even though he was injured, but the pain did not allow him to continue. The most successful player in the history of football was more than clear that at the age of 37 this was his last Copa América and therefore he wanted to say goodbye to the pitch.
Although in other stages of his career he has suffered disappointments and painful processes, he had never been in tears like this Sunday. His images, where he was sobbing on the Argentina bench, have made the rounds on social networks.
