Football superstar Lionel Messi won his first trophy with his national team as Angel Di Maria's goal gave Argentina a 1-0 win over hosts Brazil in the Copa America final.
The victory at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium ended Argentina's 28-year wait for a major trophy and ended Brazil's unbeaten home record that stretched back more than 2,500 days.
This has been Argentina's 15th Copa America, drawing level with Uruguay. In the Copa America tournament, Argentina have won 16 matches out of a total of 34. Brazil won in 10 matches.
34-year-old Messi has won everything at the club level, both in personal and team capacity, and now won a major title with his country apart from a 2008 gold medal in the Olympics. The Barcelona legend has 10 La Liga titles, 4 UEFA Champions League medals and 6 Ballon d’OR awards.
