@weldon_ismyname: Five years ago today, everything changed for Lionel Messi and Argentina. 🩵🤍🏆 On July 10, 2021, Messi finally lifted his first major trophy with his country as Argentina defeated Brazil 1-0 to win the Copa América at the Maracanã. It was more than just a trophy. Before that night, Messi had endured years of heartbreak, criticism, and impossible expectations. He had lost finals, faced doubts from fans and pundits, and even briefly walked away from international football. Then came the breakthrough. That victory opened the floodgates. Since winning the Copa América in 2021, Messi has scored an astonishing 49 goals in 53 appearances for Argentina, added another Copa América title, and completed football by winning the FIFA World Cup. Now, five years later, the story isn't over. Argentina face Switzerland on Saturday with a place in another World Cup semi-final on the line, and Messi has the chance to chase an incredible second World Cup crown. From heartbreak to immortality. One night at the Maracanã changed everything. 🐐🇦🇷
