Lionel Messi sensationally quit international football leaving Argentinian football in turmoil after a traumatic penalty shootout defeat to Chile in the Copa America final. "It's a hard moment for me and the team, and it's difficult to say, but it's over with the Argentina team." "But it seems that the best player in history played in the United States. He returned to Spain to give evidence at his trial for tax fraud before jetting off to the United States to join up with his Argentina team-mates. He then equalled Argentina's international goalscoring record of 54, held by Gabriel Batistuta, in the quarter-finals before setting a new mark with his 55th international goal in the semi-final win over the United States.
