During the Copa America final, Lionel Messi’s participation was cut short due to a severe ankle injury, leaving the Argentine skipper in tears as he exited the pitch. The incident occurred in a tense showdown against Colombia on July 14, 2024.

Messi initially sustained an ankle injury in the first half of the match and managed to return after receiving medical attention. However, the persistence of the injury was evident when he slipped while attempting to intercept Colombia’s Luis Diaz in the 66th minute, further aggravating his condition.

The distressing moment was captured vividly as Messi, unable to continue, made his way off the field, replaced by Nico Gonzalez. His departure was met with a wave of emotional support from the stands, as fans chanted consolatory messages to uplift the disheartened player. Broadcasts by FOX Sports and subsequent images from TYC Sports highlighted the severity of the situation, showing Messi on the bench with a noticeably swollen ankle, overwhelmed by his emotions.

Despite the setback of losing their captain, Argentina demonstrated resilience. The turning point came when Lautaro Martinez, who was substituted in at the start of extra time, seized the moment by scoring the decisive goal in the 112th minute. His goal ensured that Argentina retained their title, culminating the event dramatically.

The final was not without its disruptions. Significant crowd disturbances outside Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium led to considerable delays, adding another layer of intensity to the night’s events.

This incident marks a poignant chapter in Messi’s illustrious career, illustrating the highs and lows of competitive sports. As Argentina celebrates their victory, the focus also shifts to Messi’s recovery and his future in international football.
