Argentina's loss in the Copa America Centenario marks the third straight year, and third straight major tournament, in which Messi has been unable to lead his national team to a title. This comes in stark contrast to his club success with Barcelona.
While the 'Little Magician' has won a remarkable 28 titles with Barca, it has been a different story with the Albiceleste. They have now fallen in the Copa America Final for the second straight time, with those losses following a second-place finish at the 2014 World Cup. They lost in the Copa America Final in 2007 as well. Messi's only international success with Argentina so far -- their titles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2005 Under-20 World Cup, but nothing with the senior team.
