Argentina show they're prepared for life without Lionel Messi in Copa América final
Argentina's 2024 Copa América title made Lionel Scaloni's side the second national team in men's soccer history to win three straight major international tournaments, joining 2008-2012 Spain. Albiceleste's 1-0 extra-time triumph over Colombia in Sunday's Copa América final was made even more impressive because Argentina did so mostly without Lionel Messi, who tearfully exited midway through the second half due to a right ankle injury.
