As a passionate Argentine football fan, this Copa América 2024 final will forever be etched in my heart. Argentina’s victory, our 16th title, was not only historic but also filled with drama and emotion. The team’s resilience shone through, especially after the devastating injury to Lionel Messi, which left us all feeling helpless.
Argentina emerged victorious in Copa América 2024, claiming the title and position as the current champions. With a total of 16 triumphs, this marks Argentina’s greatest number of titles in this competition, surpassing Colombia with a decisive 1-0 victory in extra time.
In the 64th minute at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martínez sadly had to leave the field after Lionel Messi suffered a non-contact injury and was substituted off, leaving Messi visibly upset. However, in a crucial moment in the 112th minute, Martínez found the back of the net with a well-placed finish from Lo Celso’s pass. As soon as the goal went in, Martínez made a beeline for the bench to embrace his captain, marking an important milestone for Argentina as they clinched their record-breaking seventh Copa América title, surpassing Uruguay’s previous tally.
The game at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida was postponed for an hour and a quarter due to crowds forcing their way past security. Online platforms showed footage of spectators bursting onto the grounds and rushing in as law enforcement tried to manage the influx of people entering the stadium. With this victory, Argentina secured their third successive major trophy following their triumphs in the 2021 Copa América and 2022 World Cup. They put an end to Colombia’s impressive streak of 28 consecutive wins.
