Lionel Messi Sets Copa America Record with Most Appearances

Posted : 21 June 2024

Lionel Messi made history in Argentina's Copa America opener against Canada by becoming the tournament's most-capped player with 35 appearances, surpassing the previous record of 34 held jointly with Chilean goalkeeper Sergio Livingstone.

 

 This milestone marks Messi's participation across seven Copa America editions, starting from his debut in the 2007 tournament hosted in Venezuela. Since then, Messi has been a consistent presence in Argentina's national team lineup, showcasing his enduring impact and leadership.

 

As Argentina's talisman, Messi's quest for more records continues in this year's Copa America. He is within reach of becoming the joint all-time top scorer in the tournament's history, needing four goals to equal the record of 17 goals held by Norberto Mendez of Argentina and Brazil's Zizinho.

 

Furthermore, a victory in this edition would see Messi achieve the unprecedented feat of captaining his team to back-to-back Copa America titles, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

 

Messi's record-breaking journey in Copa America reflects not only his individual brilliance but also his enduring commitment to Argentina's national footballing success, making him a revered figure in the tournament's storied history.
