Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul admitted that Lionel Messi's injury in the Copa America final motivated the team.
Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul- "When Messi left the team, he was shown on a giant screen and he was crying. Of course, we saw that. Then we said: "This victory is for him." At the World Cup, everything was for Messi, it was his dream. He gives something very useful, he gives peace of mind, and it is impossible not to love him as a person, apart from the football component.
The Colombian national team said that Messi and Di Maria were no longer the same, and we wanted to run after them as soon as we won. But Messi told us: "No one is provoking anyone, now we are going to have a party," Rodrigo De Paul said.
