The final of the 2024 Copa América is set: defending champions Argentina will face off against the Colombian national team in what promises to be a tightly contested match, given the current form of both squads.

In the days leading up to the big game, "Albiceleste" captain Lionel Messi spoke about their formidable opponents, who are on a 28-game unbeaten streak, stating, "There's a reason why they haven't lost in so long."

"It's a team with good players, very intense, and they have quick and dynamic players up front," Messi said in an interview with Fox Sports. However, the "10" emphasized, "Finals are always different games."

Furthermore, the Inter Miami player expressed that he feels "calm" ahead of the encounter, saying that after winning the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 World Cup, he "tries to enjoy everything that comes."
