Argentina win record-breaking 16th Copa America title
Messi-less Argentina claim dramatic victory over Colombia
Paragraph 1
Argentina have won a record-breaking 16th Copa America title after defeating Colombia 1-0 in a dramatic final in Miami. The victory is Argentina's first major international trophy since 1993 and it ends Lionel Messi's long wait for a first major title with his country.
Paragraph 2
Argentina were without Messi for the final due to a hamstring injury, but they still managed to find a way to win thanks to a goal from Angel Di Maria in the first half. Colombia had their chances to equalise, but they were unable to find a way past Emiliano Martinez in the Argentina goal.
Paragraph 3
The victory is a huge boost for Argentina and their coach Lionel Scaloni. It is also a major disappointment for Colombia, who were hoping to win their first Copa America title since 2001.
Conclusion
Argentina's victory is a testament to the team's spirit and determination. They were able to overcome the absence of their star player and they showed great character to win a tough final. This victory is sure to give Argentina confidence going into the 2022 World Cup, where they will be one of the favourites to win the tournament.
