After nine senior tournaments, Messi, 34, led Argentina past Brazil in the Copa final.

Lionel Messi has finally got his hand on a senior national title with Argentina as the Albiceleste beat hosts Brazil 1-0 in theAngel Di Maria scored the only goal of the game in the first half after Ronan Lodi poorly controlled a long diagonal pass from Rodrigo de Paul. Di Maria steadied himself before successfully lobbing an onrushing Emerson.

In a match littered with fouls – 41 – Argentina were the better team in the first half, as they denied Brazil any rhythm – fouling at every possible moment, thereby slowing down the game. Tite made a change at the start of the second half-replacing a midfielder in Fred with another forward in Roberto Firmino.
