Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night to claim their first Copa since 1993 and give captain Lionel Messi a long-coveted first medal for the national team to join his multiple accolades with Barcelona.
“I had been very close for many years. I knew that it was going to come right at some point, and I think there is no better moment than this," said a jubilant Messi, who had been desperate to emulate World Cup winner Diego Maradona's international success with Argentina. Whether Argentina have what it takes to challenge outside Latin America and win a third World Cup is an open question.
But Brazil were still stronger, even despite the Copa loss, he added."Brazil are at the level of the strong European sides. Argentina need to improve a bit to get to the same level as Brazil and have chances of winning the World Cup."
