The six-time Ballon d'Or winner, who left Barcelona for Paris this summer, finally got his hands on international silverware at the Copa America
Lionel Messi has admitted that landing Copa America glory with Argentina was the "most difficult" triumph of his trophy-laden career, with the Paris Saint-Germain superstar finally finding "peace of mind" at international level.
Having previously suffered final heartache at the 2014 World Cup and back-to-back Copas in 2015 and 2016, a six-time Ballon d'Or winner feared that senior glory with his country would never come.
He was, however, to inspire his nation to glory on Brazilian soil this summer, as he captained Lionel Scaloni's side to a memorable victory, and the 34-year-old can now relax knowing that he has hit all of his targets in a remarkable career.
