Messi wants to repeat Spain’s success.

Messi hopes to emulate Spain’s achievements.Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, will attempt to emulate Spain’s record of three straight major championships when the Copa America begins on Thursday night.

When the Albiceleste play Canada at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, four days shy of his 37th birthday, Messi will be fresh off victories in the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 World Cup.

After Argentina defeated France in the 2022 World Cup final on penalties, Messi declared, “I want to enjoy a couple more matches being a world champion.”

Since then, he has scored 10 goals in 10 international games, bringing his tally for Argentina’s national team to 108 goals in 182 games.

Coach Lionel Scaloni remarked, “It is not easy to compete again after winning it all.”

With 15 Copa titles apiece, Argentina and Uruguay are equal, followed by Brazil with nine. Not a single country has won more than twice.

Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo—who recently won the Champions League with Real Madrid—and Raphinha lead Brazil’s offensive line. Endrick, a 17-year-old who will be joining Real Madrid this summer, is a developing talent.

US coach Gregg Berhalter stated, “If you look at every position in their proposed starting11, it’s probably one of the best players in the world.”

Spain is the only country to have won three major championships in a row, having done so in the 2008 European Championship and the 2012 World Cup.

Just like in 2016, there will be 16 teams. The ten South American countries now include the US, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, and Jamaica.
