Fourteen years after the continental final in Venezuela,
Brazil and Argentina meet again with a title at stake. That day, with the
Albiceleste defeat, marked the beginning of a bad run in the finals for Lionel Messi with his national team.
Leo Messi is again before another opportunity
to lift a title for his country, with which he has only celebrated gold in the
Beijing Olympic Games. After losing the final match in 2007, they fell in the
finals of the 2014 World Cup and the 2015 and 2016 Copa América, both against Chile and on penalties.
Opposite, his ex-teammate Neymar has also resisted the continental tournament; In the 2019
edition, in which the 'Scratch' ended up winning the title, the PSG striker
could not participate after seriously injuring himself in a friendly just
before the appointment. Now, he hopes to help Tite's team revalidate the
trophy, all with the incentive of playing at home.
The victories against Venezuela, Peru, and Colombia, in
addition to the draw with Ecuador on the group stage, allowed Brazil to advance as the leader to the
quarterfinals, where a goal by Lucas Paquetá eliminated Chile. Already in the
'semis', again with so much from Paquetá, he beat Peru by the minimum
difference and assured his presence in the final, where he wants to lift his
tenth Copa América
Meanwhile, Lionel Scaloni's men suffered to overcome Colombia
in the semifinals, where goalkeeper Emiliano MartÃnez became the Albiceleste
star by stopping three of the 'coffee' shots in the final round. Before, they
had left Ecuador on the road in the quarterfinals after a group stage in which
they only gave up points in their debut for Chile.
In search of its fifteenth title in the tournament - which
would allow it to tie in the record with Uruguay - and the first since 1993,
Argentina will have all its players, while Brazil will not be able to have
Gabriel Jesús or Felipe.
