Argentina retain Copa America title despite Lionel Messi injury

Argentina retained their Copa America crown at the MetLife Stadium despite Lionel Messi suffering an injury in the game. The 37-year-old forward was struck with an injury in the 66th minute but his compatriots had the composure to secure a 1-0 win in extra time in his absence.

Colombia put up a valiant challenge in the final but lost following a 112nd-minute strike from Lautaro Martinez.

The victory sees Lionel Messi win the tournament for the second time in his career. Despite not being at his mercurial best, bagging only a goal and assist in the six games, he provided his teammates a suitable figure to rally around, on and off the pitch.

Argentina was a fantastic unit in the tournament, with Lautaro Martinez claiming the Golden Boot with five goals. Emi Martinez was also rewarded with the Golden Glove for his performances between the sticks after keeping five clean sheets in six games.

The Aston Villa shot-stopper has now won the Golden Glove in three consecutive international tournaments.
