Downplaying Copa because Messi won the WC is a whole new level of cringe. That trophy is one of the reason why Messi played with so much of freedom in this WC. Even after the shootout, emotions were different from the final whistle in Maracana. 11/07/21 will always be special
In terms of legacy, winning the continental, inter continental and the world cup in CV is goated stuff. Players who have won all these doesn't have the club career CV of Messi along with 7 Ballon d'ors. Now combine both and Messi is unparalleled in footballing history
Winning a trophy in Brazil, especially in Maracana is legacy for 🇦🇷. It will be spoken as long as footballing rivalries exists. Maradona doesn't have it in his CV neither does Kempes. Or infact any Argentine captain other than Messi
Before the 2021 Copa Win against Brazil in Maracana, Argentina lost 7 knockout games in a row against Brazil in international competitions. Win in Maracana is still the one among three knockout fixtures that 🇦🇷 won against 🇧🇷 in international competitions.
