The 1978 World Cup-winning Argentina coach hailed Messi's role in Argentina's Copa America triumph...
Former Argentina player and coach Cesar Luis Menotti suggested that the legendary Diego Maradona would have been extremely proud of Lionel Messi and co. who recently won the Copa America 2021 title in Brazil. La Albiceleste, under Messi's captaincy, won the Copa America title after a gap of 28 years after beating arch-rivals Brazil 1-0 in the final.
This was also the first senior international title in Messi's career. Speaking on Argentina's Radio Villa Trinidad, Menotti suggested that Maradona, who passed away in November 2020, would have been ecstatic with joy had he watched Argentina play at the Copa America 2020.
