The Argentina captain Lionel Messi issued a somber address to his teammates prior to the game since he was aware that this might be his final opportunity to contend for a Copa America championship.
Messi said : “There’s no such thing as coincidence, you know what? This cup was to be played in Argentina, and God brought it here, brought it here to raise it in the Maracana, to make it more beautiful for all of us. Let’s go out confident and calm and we’ll take this one home.”
