The Argentina national team won the Copa America 2024 title after defeating Colombia 1-0 in the final early on Monday, marking the team's fourth title in three years. Argentine newspaper "Olé" reported that Lionel Messi, the star and captain of the team, was responsible for inviting historic tango players to lift the trophy on the field.
The report explained that Messi brought Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi to the front of the stage to raise the trophy with him, highlighting this as a true acknowledgment of those who fought for the team for a long time. The duo was a crucial part of the previous team, which failed twice to win the Copa America and lost in the 2014 World Cup final. The 2024 Copa America final marks the last match for Di María and Otamendi in the national team jersey, as the duo has decided to leave the team at the end of the tournament.
