In the final of the Copa America that ended on July 15, Beijing time, Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 after extra time, successfully defending the title and completing the third consecutive championship of the tournament. It is also Argentina's 16th Copa America title, officially surpassing Uruguay and topping the list for the most titles.

And this championship is also of great significance to the legendary captain of Argentina, Messi, although Messi regretted his injury in the second half in the final, this championship is considered a "lying crown", but because this Copa America is Messi's last personal participation, he can be described as a successful curtain after winning the championship with the team. Messi has participated in the Copa America 7 times in his career, winning 2 championships, 3 runners-up, 1 season and 1 top 8.

This is also the 45th title of Messi's career, and he has surpassed his former Barcelona teammate Alves to become the player with the most titles in football history. Shortly after Messi landed in the MLS last year and joined Inter Miami, he led the team to win the first championship in team history - the League Cup, which is also the 44th championship of Messi's career. At that time, he also equalled the 44 titles won by former Barcelona team-mate Alves, and the two were tied for the top spot.

And now, the 37-year-old Messi finally successfully led the team to win the championship in his last Copa America final. He also broke the honor book of his career by one more crown, and thus occupied the top spot in the list of championships won by players in football.

Alves (44), Andres Iniesta, Maxwell (37), Xavi, Ryan Giggs (36) and Dalglish (35), who are close to Messi behind him, have all retired. For a long time to come, I believe that it will be difficult for anyone in football to surpass or even come close to Messi's great achievement.
