“I’m much calmer than before” – Messi confident as Argentina and Colombia set for Copa America finale
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lionel Messi has shared his thoughts about Argentina’s upcoming Copa America final against Colombia on Sunday, Soccernet.football reports.

Argentina are aiming for their 16th Copa America title, which would make them the most successful team in the competition’s history. The 2022 World Cup champions have been in excellent form, winning all their matches and conceding just one goal in five games.

Colombia, on the other hand, are looking to win the Copa America for only the second time. They have been impressive in this tournament, with James Rodriguez performing particularly well.

Despite Colombia’s form, Argentina are expected to have the upper hand, especially with Messi in the team.

Messi scored in Argentina’s 2-0 semi-final win against Canada and was named Player of the Match.

Speaking to Fox Sports Argentina, Messi expressed confidence in his team’s preparation for the final.

“I am calm waiting for the day to come as always. I am much calmer than before after everything we lived through and what we went through,” said Messi. He emphasized the importance of enjoying each moment and staying focused on the match.

Messi also acknowledged Colombia’s strength.

Colombia topped Group D ahead of Brazil and defeated Uruguay to reach the final for the first time since 2001, the last time they won the tournament.

Los Cafeteros are currently on a 28-game unbeaten streak, the longest in their history. Messi respects their opponents, noting their strong players and intense gameplay.

“We watched the Uruguay and Colombia match. We knew that whoever it was going to be, it would be tough. Colombia has not lost in a long time. It’s a team with very good players, very intense as well. Up front, they have quick and dynamic players. And well, it’s a final,” Messi said.

The Copa final will be held on July 14 at 8 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL. Argentina remain the favorite to win, but they know their toughest challenge is yet to come.
