After personal achievement, the goal is just to win the title: Messi

Sports Desk: Another new day, another magical performance by Lionel Messi. The Argentine captain is flying in the current Copa America with his team.

Argentina reached the semifinals after beating Ecuador 3-0 in the quarter-finals on Sunday morning. Messi scored a spectacular goal from a free-kick after a pair of assists. As a result, he inevitably won the matchmaker's award.

Messi has been named man of the match in four of the five matches he has played so far in the current Copa. He has scored four goals and four assists in these four matches. Messi has scored only two goals from free-kicks so far in this year's Copa.

All in all, the Argentine magician has surpassed everyone in his personal craft. However, Messi does not want to be overwhelmed by the joy of personal performance. He’s rather focused on the team’s main goal, which is just to win the title.

Messi reminded him once again after the match against Ecuador. To him personal achievement is always later. Excluding everything, Messi wants to think only about his own goals.

The Argentine captain said, ‘I always say, personal achievement is always after. We are here for something else. I want to congratulate the whole team for the hard work they put in. We have been away from our family for a long time. We have a goal and we think about it. '

Despite winning 3-0 in the quarterfinals, Messi said the match was not easy at all. But the satisfaction of going one step further on the way to the title is in his voice.

Messi commented, ‘It was a very tough match. We knew the opponent would give the gift of hard fighting. We had to fight a lot before getting the first goal. Then the match became more complicated. But the important thing is that we (on the way to the title) have gone one step further. '
