Argentina's penalty shootout defeat in the Copa America final can be a turning point for the national team, according to Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi believes Argentina's defeat in last year's Copa America final can be a turning point for the national team's fortunes.
Barcelona superstar Messi missed out on a major international trophy for the second time in 12 months as, after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Germany in the World Cup final in 2014, Argentina was beaten on penalties by host Chile in the Copa showpiece.
But Argentina will have another chance to win its first Copa since 1993 this year at the Centenario tournament in the United States, which is taking place as a special edition event outside the competition's usual four-year cycle.
