#CopaAmerica: Messi Breaks International Duck With Argentina Win Leaving Twitter in G.O.A.T Debate
Messi finally breaks International Duck with Argentina win against Brasil in Copa America!
It took the six-time Ballon d’Or five tries to get his hand on an international trophy following a G.O.A.T debate sparked on Twitter!
On Saturday. Argentina won their first major title in 28 years when an Angel Di Maria goal gave them a 1-0 win over Brazil and a record-equalling 15th Copa America.
The victory ended the title drought for Messi regarded as one of the greatest players ever to play the game, alongside Pele and countryman Diego Maradona.
Lionel Messi’s inability to win an international title with Argentina always left something missing besides his name on the all-time greats list, and this was one point Cristiano Ronaldo fans used to rub it in on Lionel Messi supporters post Portugal’s European Championship success in 2016.
The Barcelona striker is finally a winner at the international level after finishing on the losing side in four previous finals – three times in the Copa America and once in the 2014 World Cup.
However, last night’s win sparked the Greatest Of All Time, G.O.A.T debate on Twitter once again.
#GOAT Maradona : can you do it for me ?

The debate that never existed is over. There's never been and there will never be a better footballer than Messi. Not Pele. Not Maradona.And certainly not C.Ronaldo. Congratulations to the #GOAT pic.twitter.com/mhZFayK8Gi
