Messi Makes History: Sets New Record for International Finals

Lionel Messi etched his name deeper into football history by leading Argentina to the Copa America 2024 final.

This victory marks Messi’s seventh international final, surpassing the record previously held by Brazilian legends Cafu and Roberto Carlos. 

The 37-year-old maestro also recently became the **second all-time international goalscorer** (109 goals), trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo (130).  

Argentina will now face either Uruguay or Colombia in the final, aiming to defend their Copa America title.
