In search of a title with the Argentine national team since 2005, Lionel Messi (34) managed to get his hands on the Copa América 2021. A huge pride for the FC Barcelona striker, but above all a huge relief for Diego Maradona’s son, to whom La Pulga is systematically compared.
“Diego was Diego and Messi is Messi. Whoever criticizes Messi doesn’t understand anything about football. He suffered a lot when they compared him to my father, El Pibe de Oro’s son explained to TyC Sports. It was a relief. amazing. I love Messi, I love him. There has never been one in football history that has his quality. I see him so happy now that he won this title with the national team . It makes me very happy. “
Died last November, Maradona did not have the privilege of sharing this great moment with his worthy successor. A real heartbreak for fans of the Abliceleste.
