Lionel Messi posted a super emotional message on his Instagram account a few hours after arriving in Rosario and reuniting with his family after the most important 45 days of his life as a soccer player for the National Team that led to the conquest of the Copa América, his first title with the Selection.

The full message

It was an incredible Cup, we know that we can still improve many things, but the truth is that the kids left their souls and I cannot be more proud to be lucky enough to be captain of this spectacular group.

I want to dedicate this success to my family who always gave me the strength to keep going, to my friends that I love so much, to all the people who bank us and especially to the 45 million Argentines who had such a bad time with this shit of viruses, especially those that touched them more closely.

It goes for all of you.

And of course also for Diego who surely banked us from wherever he is.

In order to continue celebrating we have to continue taking care of ourselves, let's not forget that there is still a long way to go to return to normality and take advantage of this happiness to gain a little strength to fight together to win against the virus.

Thank you God for everything you gave me and thank you for making me be Argentine!

CHAMPIONS OF AMERICA !!!
