Copa America 2024 Final Highlights: Argentina 1-0 Colombia: Lionel Messi in tears after injury; Lautaro Martinez scores to lift record-breaking title.
Argentina vs. Colombia Highlights of the Copa America 2024 Final: Lautaro Martinez scored in the 111th minute of extra time to help Argentina defeat Colombia 1-0 in the final.
Lionel Messi was hurt and had to be substituted, ending what is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final international competition. In the 64th minute, the Argentine superstar went down off the ball and exited the pitch to a standing ovation from spectators at Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was later seen sobbing on the sidelines, clutching an ice pack around his ankle. Cameras saw him later on the bench with a very swollen right ankle.
Messi looked to injure his ankle in the 36th minute on a collision with Santiago Arias, and while he was able to return to his feet after receiving treatment, he was clearly hindered for the rest of the half.
Kickoff was delayed by 82 minutes due to crowd unrest before the game, which was blamed on boisterous unticketed spectators. CONMEBOL said that the delayed start of the match was to ensure that only ticket holders could access the stadium.
