Argentina's Triumph in Copa América
Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, celebrated the Argentine National Team's victory against Colombia in the Copa América. Lautaro Martínez’s decisive goal in the second half of extra time secured the win for Lionel Scaloni's team. Milei expressed his joy and invited the players to celebrate their achievement on the balcony of the Casa Rosada. He stated, "If they consider or want to use the balcony, I will give it to them. If they would be willing to receive me it would also be a pleasure. But it is their decision, because this is a triumph and an award from them." The President acknowledged the team's struggle, particularly in the first half of extra time, and highlighted Argentina's historic success in the tournament.
Key Players of Argentina's National Team
As Argentina seeks its fourth consecutive title, several key players have emerged as pivotal figures in the team. Christian Romero has been a defensive wall, while Alexis Mac Allister has played a crucial role in midfield. Lautaro Martínez, eager for redemption after a goalless World Cup, proved his worth by becoming the top scorer in the tournament. Despite not being in his prime physical condition, Lionel Messi continues to be an essential strategist for the team, contributing with his passing and playmaking. Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez has been a standout goalkeeper, making crucial saves and demonstrating his prowess in penalty shootouts.
The Argentine delegation, including some players, coaching staff, and their families, is scheduled to arrive in Ezeiza. However, not all players will return to Argentina immediately. Julián Álvarez, Nicolás Otamendi, and Gerónimo Rulli will head to the Paris Olympic Games, while Lionel Messi and Emiliano Martínez will stay abroad for personal reasons.
