He was left out of any European competition and now he will only have to focus on the local tournament.

Before Lionel Messi achieved glory with the Argentine national team, he came close to winning the Copa América on three occasions. In 2007, 2015 and 2016 he almost got his first absolute title with the Albiceleste. However, he lost once against Brazil and twice against Chile.

Now, an Araucanian who deprived Leo of raising the long-awaited trophy, karma hit him and he fails in Europe. This is striker Alexis Sánchez. The former FC Barcelona player, who coincided with Leo in Spanish football, was key for the 'Red' to take away from the 'Flea' the possibility of winning the Copa América on two occasions.

Even in 2016, after losing on penalties against Chile, Messi resigned from the National Team, although months ago he changed his decision. Now, Sánchez is having a hard time in Europe. In the current season he signed for Olympique de Marseille, where he arrived as the main figure.

However, he failed in the Champions League. On the last day, he fell to Tottenham and was left out of any international competition. His contribution was barely nothing, and then, the criticism started to rise among press, media, and fans on social media.

After three setbacks, Lionel Messi won the Copa América at the Maracana:

After losing three continental finals, plus the 2014 World Cup, Lionel Messi achieved the coveted title in 2021. Against Brazil and at the Maracana, the Argentine team won by the slightest difference, to obtain an international title after 28 years. Now the Albiceleste starts as one of the favorites to win the World Cup in Qatar.
