Lionel Messi sat down on the substitutes bench, tears in his eyes. The wait goes on. He may never now win a trophy with Argentina. And this time, he has to share some of the blame.
Messi took Argentina’s first penalty in the shoot-out, after Arturo Vidal had missed the opening spot-kick for Chile. He fired right, Bravo went left. But the ball sailed high, over the crossbar and into the stands.
When Claudio Bravo made an excellent save from Lucas Biglia’s penalty, the game was up, with Francisco Silva converting Chile’s fifth to win the Copa America Centenario, just as they did last year.
