NEW DELHI: Argentina is on the brink of making history as they prepare to face
Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday. A victory would make them the first South American nation to secure the 'triple crown' of three consecutive major tournament titles, having already won the 2021 Copa America and the World Cup the following year.
The team, under the guidance of Lionel Scaloni, has progressed to the final with relative ease, largely thanks to the inspiration provided by
Lionel Messi.
Spain is the only other international team to have achieved a similar feat, winning the European Championships in 2008 and 2012, with the 2010 World Cup triumph sandwiched between them.
If Argentina emerges victorious, they will also surpass Uruguay's record of 15 Copa America titles, claiming their 16th.
However, Colombia will not be an easy opponent, as they enter the final with an impressive 28-match unbeaten streak, a national record. Their path to the final has arguably been more challenging, having overcome Uruguay in a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the semi-final, despite playing with ten men for the entire second half.
The stage is set for an intense and passionate encounter at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Both teams will be determined to etch their names in the annals of football history, making for a thrilling final that fans will not want to miss.
