Accordingly, if Messi plays in the opening match against Canada, Messi will mark his 35th match in Argentina at the Copa America, surpassing Chilean legend Sergio Livingstone.
As a professional goalkeeper, Livingstone played for Chile for a total of 13 years, but participated in 6 Copa America tournaments during that time, starting in 1941 until his last appearance in 1953.
Interestingly, his Copa matches account for 65% of all appearances for Chile, as Livingstone has only made 52 appearances for the team in his career.
Notably, Messi’s rival Cristiano Ronaldo has just set a series of great records at the Euro. Specifically, after starting the opening match of Euro 2024 against the Czech Republic, the Portuguese striker became the first player to play in 6 consecutive Euros, the most appearances in the league (26 matches).
Meanwhile, Messi made his Copa debut in 2007, having played in a total of 6 tournaments, being crowned champions once three years ago, when La Albiceleste ended their 28-year title drought.
Messi was the driving force behind that with 4 goals and 5 assists for Argentina to be crowned champion. M10 also played all minutes of Argentina in the tournament, helping the team defeat the host and defending champion Brazil in the final.
The former Barca star’s first appearance in the Copa America was against the United States on 29 June 2007, in which he provided an assist in Argentina’s 4–1 victory.
