Lionel Messi told reporters after Argentina's Copa America Centenario final loss to Chile on penalty kicks that he has decided to retire from the national team. The superstar, who lost his fourth major tournament final and third in as many years on Sunday night, said that after so many missed chances, he is ready to step away.
"The national team is over for me," said Messi to TYC Sports. "It's not for me after four finals. The decision is made, I believe."
With each loss in a final, the pressure on Messi increased. As the team's best player and captain, not to mention the talk about his place among the all-time greats, his lack of a major trophy for Argentina was always a topic of discussion. And that discussion rarely went well for Messi.
Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero said that he's not convinced Messi will actually retire from the national team and his comments were made out of emotion in the moments following the loss. Messi is undoubtedly distraught right now and his mind could change when he has some time to put the heartbreak behind him some, but there is no questioning what he said to reporters. He said he is done.
