Copa America 2024 , the South American football championship, will take place from June 20 to July 14 in the United States.
The Argentina team had a perfect warm-up for Copa America 2024 when they easily defeated Ecuador 1-0 in a friendly match that took place a few days ago.

The highlight of the match was the appearance of superstar Lionel Messi. Although he did not start from the beginning, Messi was brought on in the second half and immediately made a difference.
With this appearance, Messi officially broke Sergio Ramos’ record to become the player with the most appearances for the national team that won the World Cup. Specifically, Messi has made 181 appearances for Argentina, while Ramos has made 180 appearances for Spain.
This is considered an achievement that is difficult to surpass because not many players who have won the World Cup have played as many times. Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi’s rival in his career, has played 207 times for the Portuguese national team, but CR7 has never been able to taste the feeling of winning the world championship.
