Messi needed Copa America win the most, says Aguero

Sergio Aguero has opened up on Argentina’s Copa America win and says captain Lionel Messi needed the victory more than anyone.

Argentina’s win over Brazil on Saturday ended La Albiceleste’s 28-year wait for a trophy and handed Messi a first senior international trophy.

Messi’s lack of an international title has often been held against him by some critics, and it’s clear from the celebrations just how thrilled the 34-year-old has been to win with Argentina.

Aguero says the title will bring Messi joy and peace and added that the captain’s enjoyment of the win has made the whole squad happy.
