Summary of Argentina's 0:1 victory over Brazil in the Copa America 2021 final (Sport1)
Lionel Messi's emotional speech in the dressing room before the game of the Argentina national team in the Copa America final against Brazil was revealed today (Wednesday) as part of a promo for a new documentary that will be released on Netflix ("Sean eternos: Campeones de America" - to be eternal: Champions of South America).
Messi led Argentina as captain to win the South American Championship, his first title in the national team's uniform, after a long string of disappointments, as Argentina defeated arch-rivals Brazil 1-0 in the final at the Maracana.
Before the game "The Flea" tried to spur on his teammates, and the captain, who for years was told he was not a sweeping leader, spoke from the heart in a way never seen before.
"He just went crazy there," Angel Di Maria said of him.
The network commented that this is a "Messi that has never been seen before".

Among the things Messi said to his teammates: "For 45 days we haven't seen our families, friends. We had a goal, and we are one small step away from completing it... There is no such thing as a coincidence, friends. You know what? This game was supposed to be from a market in Argentina, And God brought him here - God brought him here so that we can win and be able to lift the cup here in Marakana friends, so that it can be even sweeter for all of us. So let's go up with confidence and with calmness, because we are bringing this cup home."
As you remember, Messi lost three consecutive finals between 2014 and 2016.
It was Argentina's first title in 28 years.
