Messi dominates Copa America group stage with Argentina
The Peninsula
RIO DE JANEIRO: Lionel Messi is used to being No. 1 with Barcelona. Hours before his contract with the club was due to expire, he was getting that kind of feeling while wearing the Argentina shirt at Copa America.
The 34-year-old Messi has some of the best statistics so far at the South American championship. He capped the group stage on Monday with two goals and an assist in Argentina's 4-1 win over Bolivia. Messi’s contract with Barcelona ends on June 30 after 17 seasons. The Argentine forward won a record six Balon d’Or awards at the Catalan club, where he's the all-time leading scorer with 672 goals in 778 appearances. But he's yet to lift a major title with his national team.More Related News
