Seperclassico De Las Americanas, Messi's First Trophy With Argentina

RIYADH - Lionel Messi finally got his first international title after Argentina beat Brazil in the Superclasico de las Americanas party. This match will be held at King Saud University Stadium, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Friday, November 15.

The Barcelona superstar scored the only goal of the game, picking up a bounce from close range from a penalty saved by Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Gabriel Jesus also missed a penalty for Brazil in a party that was not really 'hot'.

But, even though the match was less interesting, Messi was finally able to lift the trophy at the end of the match, that's kind of thing.

The Superclasico de las Americanas or Super Classic of the Americas is only followed by two teams, Brazil and Argentina and is actually just a friendly match. This competition began in 2011 and has been played five times in which Brazil won the previous four matches.

However, 2019 will be the year for Messi, who has just returned from a ban on the national team since his protests against CONMEBOL after the 2019 Copa America.

Granted, this trophy is nothing compared to the World Cup or the Copa America, but we can't just take it off the captain. Look, how happy La Pulga is holding this trophy!

In fact, Messi has also given trophies to Argentina. When he won the San Juan Cup last June after beating Nicaragua 5-1 at the San Juan Stadium. The San Juan Cup is a trophy from a friendly ahead of the Copa America which is on the same level as the Thomas Cook trophy or the Emirates Cup. In fact, fans are claiming on social media that the Superclasico de las Americana is more prestigious than the San Juan Cup and even the UEFA Nations League won by Cristiano Ronaldo with Portugal last summer.

This may invite a long debate. But maybe at least now the international trophy score between Messi and Ronaldo will be 2-1. Yes, Ronaldo won the European Cup three years ago.

What should not be forgotten, Messi's single goal in last night's match made him even more fast as Argentina national team top scorer with 69 goals.

The Messi versus Ronaldo debate has never ended and football fans agree that Juventus stars are superior at international level. However, Messi's first trophy might spark a new argument. May agree or not.
