Messi convinced 2021 Copa America can end wait for Argentina title after so many near misses

Lionel Messi is convinced that the 2021 Copa America can bring his wait for major honours with Argentina to a close, with Goal learning that the Barcelona superstar is excited by another shot at international glory.

Despite boasting the most distinguished of CVs at club level – one that includes 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns – senior silverware with his country has eluded a six-time Ballon d’Or winner.

A gold medal was secured at the 2008 Olympics, to go with an U20 World Cup win in 2005, but that is as good as it has got for Messi when turning out for the Albiceleste.
