However, Messi looked as energetic and agile in the first half as he did in the second half. He could not even use the golden opportunity to score in the 6th minute of the match. This is mainly due to a hamstring injury. Messi has played in the last two matches of the Copper with injury.
Messi’s ankle was hit hard in the 48th minute of the semi-final match against Colombia. Immediately blood started dripping from that ankle.
After the initial treatment, Messi played the rest of the match with a bleeding leg and then a tiebreaker. Argentina won that match and advanced to the final.
