Lionel Messi is convinced that the 2021 Copa America can bring his wait for major honours with Argentina to a close, with Goal learning that the Barcelona superstar is excited by another shot at international glory.


Despite boasting the most distinguished of CVs at club level – one that includes 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns – senior silverware with his country has eluded a six-time Ballon d’Or winner.


A gold medal was secured at the 2008 Olympics, to go with an U20 World Cup win in 2005, but that is as good as it has got for Messi when turning out for the Albiceleste.


Argentina and Colombia will be joint hosts of the next Copa, with a tournament set to be played out between June 11 and Jul 10 presenting Messi with an opportunity to deliver on home soil.


Messi still intends to play on and chase down 2022 World Cup glory in Qatar, but that event feels so far away at present as the South American qualification process has not even begun.


Next summer is the focus for now, with one of the most decorated players of this or any other generation allowing international ambitions to figure prominently in his thoughts – even amid all of the uncertainty that his contract situation at Barca is generating.


Messi believes in Argentina and is ready for his next great challenge.
