God was saving this moment for me – Messi
Argentina captain Lionel Messi says winning his first trophy with Albiceleste is indescribable.
Argentina
beat Brazil 1-0 in the Copa América final to put an end to a 28-year wait. It was
Lionel Messi's first trophy with Albiceleste and also Argentina's first Copa América title since the 1993.
Being over the moon by this historic victory, Messi said:
"I needed to get the thorn out of being able to achieve something with the national team, I had been very close for many years.
"I knew that at some point it was going to go right, it was going to happen and I think there is no better moment than this.
"I feel that God was saving this moment for me, against Brazil in the final and in their country."
The 34-year-old superstar added:
"We still cannot believe that we are champions and what we have achieved.
"But I think it will be a match that will remain in history, not only because we are champions of South America but also because we beat them Brazil in their country."
