Lionel Messi will have the chance to win the biggest title from Argentina in the final match against Brazil on Sunday morning at the historic Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

In his one-and-a-half-decade career with Barcelona, Messi has won nearly three dozen titles, including ten La Liga titles and four Champions League titles. However, aside from winning gold in football at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the six-time Ballon d'or winner has not had much success in Buenos Aires. "We will keep working to stop this success," Marcos Aoás Corrêa (Marquinhos), a Brazilian defender, said. He's implying that Brazil will make full use of home advantage and youthful vigor to thwart Messi. The Copa America de 2021 is Messi's tenth major competition as an Argentina player. He has competed in six South American continental football tournaments and four FIFA World Cups. Since 1993, Argentina has not won the Copa America.

He had just lost in the final to Brazil at the time. Messi has four goals and a record five assists in the ongoing competition despite not having a contract with Barcelona, his only club in his career. It is also Messi's former teammate and Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr's first major international title opportunity. Brazil is still searching for a major title after winning the Copa America in 2007. We're going to play against people we've known for a long time.

The final will feature two strong South American teams, and we expect a thrilling match,' said Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni. The Copa America was held in two countries - Colombia and Argentina - after being postponed for a year due to the Corona epidemic for the first time in its 105-year history. However, due to the civil unrest in Colombia, the South American Football Confederation decided to hold it only in Argentina last May. Argentina, on the other hand, has rejected the project, claiming that corona infections have increased in their country.

The competition was previously decided to be held in Brazil. Brazil hosted the 2019 edition as well. The players had objected to the government's decision to compete in the Corona-affected country. All of the games were played without the presence of any spectators. The final was scheduled to take place in Barranquilla City, Colombia, according to the pre-arranged schedule. However, it will now be held at the historic Maracana Stadium. Argentina was defeated by Germany in the 2014 World Cup final at this venue.

The ten participating countries were split into two groups of 5-5 this time. In the quarterfinals, the top four teams competed. Brazil, ranked third in the FIFA world rankings, beat Venezuela 3-0 to start the tournament. Argentina and Brazil finished first and second in their groups, respectively, and advanced to the quarterfinals. Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador rounded out the top eight. Two of the four quarterfinal matches were decided by a penalty shootout. Uruguay, the Copa America's most successful team, was defeated by Colombia, while 2019 runners-up Peru defeated Paraguay on penalties.

Chile, the 2016 champion, was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Brazil. Argentina needed penalties to beat Colombia in the semi-finals, while Brazil defeated Peru 1-0. Argentina, which is ranked eighth in FIFA, has lost four Copa America finals since winning the title in 1993. He does, however, have a chance to win Uruguay's 15th Copa.

Brazil has won the Copa America a total of nine times. Ángel Fabián Di María for Paris Saint-Germain, had a fantastic semi-final performance against Colombia. Even in the end, he might get some continuity. Sergio Agüero's experience, which he has with Barcelona this season, can be used in the final. Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino and Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior were benched in the semi-final against Peru. Frederico Rodrigues de Paula Santos (Fred) of Manchester United was thought to be playing in midfield, leaving Liverpool's Fábio Henrique Tavares (Favinho) behind.

"Brazil vs. Argentina is much more than a normal football match," said Marcos Aoás Corrêa (Marquinhos), a Brazilian defender. "These jerseys will raise awareness among football fans all over the world."
