Calcutta: Lionel Messi will need to fire when Argentina take on Colombia in the Copa America final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Sunday. Messi has scored just one goal, against Canada in the semi-final, and missed a penalty in the shootout against Ecuador in the last eight stages. By his standard, this Copa has been lackluster.
The main worry for Arsenal coach Lionel Scaloni is Messi’s fitness. In the on-going tournament, he missed the last group-stage match against Peru after picking up a knock against Chile. Teammates hope their captain will come alive against a team that is enjoying a 28-match unbeaten streak.
