Argentina skipper Lionel Messi has announced his
retirement from international football following Argentina’s loss
to Chile in Copa America final .
Messi said, “This is a difficult moment. Tough to make
analysis. I thought about it in the locker room and think national
team career is over for me. This is not for me.”
The two teams remained goalless in extra time which led
the match into penalty shootout.
Both the teams missed out on their first attempt.
It was Messi for Argentina who missed the first
chance.
Chile later netted their remaining four shots while
Argentina had to settle with just two and lose the final for the
second consecutive time in a penalty shootout at the hands of
Chile.
Chile won 4-2 in penalty shootout against
Argentina.
Lionel Messi didn’t win any major tournaments with
Argentina.
