Argentina begins its 2021 Copa América title defense in Atlanta, taking on tournament debutants Canada to begin this summer’s matches.
Lionel Messi’s team arrives at the Mercedes-Benz stadium and the Argentine striker is in brilliant form for both club and country, with 12 goals in 12 games for Inter Miami and a double for Argentina in its last friendly against Guatemala.
Lionel Scaloni is trying to help the Argentine team win consecutive titles in this competition for the first time since 1993.
It would be an incredible achievement for Jesse Marsch’s team to qualify from their group, given that Chile and Peru are the other two teams in Group A.
