Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina's national football team, expressed his hope that forward Ángel Di María will conclude his international career with a goal in this year’s Copa América final. The Albiceleste are set to face Colombia on Sunday.
Di
María has announced his retirement from international football after a 15-year
career representing his country. Messi hopes the 36-year-old will find the net
once more, just as he did against Brazil to win the Copa América in 2021 and
against France in the 2022 World Cup final.
“Who
knows, maybe he’ll score another goal in the final like he did in all the
previous ones he’s played in. It would be extraordinary,” Messi said in an
interview with Direct TV Sports. “We always tell him that if everything goes
well, we have playoff games coming up. Nevertheless, ‘Fideo’ [Di María] has
made up his mind and there’s nothing that can change it.”
