Lionel Messi wins his first international trophy: Here are the key stats

Lionel Messi lifted his first international trophy of his career as Argentina won Copa America after defeating Brazil 1-0 on Saturday. A splendid goal from Angel Di Maria in the 22nd minute helped Argentina win the South American championship. Meanwhile, the former finally ended his quest for a major trophy after having claimed several laurels in club football. Here are the key stats.

Messi wins his first major international trophy after 15 years

Messi has won his first international trophy after making his debut at this stage in 2006. This was his 10th senior international tournament. World Cup: 2006 (quarter-final), 2010 (quarter-final), 2014 (runners-up), 2018 (last 16). Copa America: 2007 (runners-up), 2011 (quarter-final), 2015 (runners-up), 2016 (runners-up), 2019 (semi-final), 2021 (winners). Notably, Messi played his 34th match at Copa America (19 at World Cup).

Information
An amazing coincidence!

It is a coincidence that two of the best players in this generation won their first international trophies on the same date. Five years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo won his maiden senior international trophy as Portugal won the 2016 Euros (July 10, 2016).

Messi has over 150 appearances for Argentina

Messi now has 151 appearances for the Argentina senior team. The Argentine legend has racked up 76 goals in these matches (42 in competitive matches and 34 in friendlies). In total, Messi has represented Argentina 174 times (including matches of Under-20 and Under-23 sides).
