Lionel Messi keep making history. This phrase may be the one that has been written the most in the texts that talk about Leo, but the Argentine forward does not stop breaking records. The achievements achieved by the Barça footballer are countless, and as soon as he steps onto the field of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for the inaugural match of the Copa América, against the Canadian National Team, he will add another record to his immense showcase of achievements. conquests, also with the Argentine National Team.
Why Leo Messi He is going to become the player with the most appearances in the history of the Copa América, with 35 appearances throughout his seven appearances. At the moment, with all the teams in attendance, he is tied at 34 games with the Chilean Sergio Livingstone, one of the best goalkeepers in South America between the 40s and 50s, and later a renowned journalist. It will be difficult for anyone to reach Messi’s mark, especially among current professionals: Yoshimar Yotún, from Peru, has 27, but misses the event due to injury. Gary Medelof Chileis also highlighted with the same number of bets, although Ricardo Gareca He has left it out.

The point is that MessiUnless there is a setback, he will increase his tally to 35 duels and seven editions. Ángel Romano, from Uruguay, and Alex Aguinaga, from Ecuador, are the players with the most editions, eight each. Messi would stay for one edition if he never again competes in the great American football event; The fact is that during the first years of the tournament, which was born in 1916, it was played every year. Romano was born in 1893. That favored him. He has never had a fixed periodicity for the Copa América organized by CONMEBOL. Aguinaga can attest, having played this competition in 87, 89, 91, 93, 95, 99, 2001 and 2004. Every two, three and four years.
MessiIn any case, he is confirmed as the great king of America, despite the fact that the Cup eluded him and he had to play in the final four times to finally lift the trophy. He has another Copa América milestone within reach: being the player who wins the most times. He needs to win three more games to remain alone in a classification that is now headed by Brazilian Zizinho, with 23 wins in 33 games. Messi has 21 in 34.

The former Barcelona ’10’ is already the footballer with the most games played in the history of the World Cup. The final that crowned him world champion in Qatar added Leo Messi’s tally to 26 matches in World Cups. He left behind the data of a German myth like Lothar Matthäus. Messi will retire as the player who has defended the ‘Albiceleste’ the most times in the two great tournaments that every South American dreams of playing in: the World Cup and the Copa América. Curiously, his ‘archenemy’ Cristiano is the one who has played the most matches in the Euro Cup throughout history, with 26 appearances to date.
Curiously, Leo is not the top scorer in the history of the Copa América. He has scored 13 goals, four of the 17 established as the main mark by the Argentine Norberto Méndez in the 40s and the Brazilian Zizinho in the 50s. In the 21st century, two footballers who have been called up have scored one more goal than ‘ la Pulga’: Paolo Guerrero in Peru and Eduardo Vargas in Chile. Competition for a Messi who governs his continent.
