Messi’s Argentina loss to Brazil sparks new GOAT debate

July 3, 2019

Twitter users have begun debating the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) after Argentina fell to Brazil on Wednesday in the semi-finals of the 2019 Copa America.

Captain Lionel Messi could not help the team as Argentina crashed thanks to two goals on either half of the game.

Gabriel Jesus scored the opening goal and set up Roberto Firmino for the clincher as Brazil won 2-0 in Belo Horizonte to reach the final for the first time since 2007.

Argentina’s loss heaped more international misery on Messi after the team lost on penalties to Chile in the previous two finals.

Twitter users have revived the age-long debate over who remains the GOAT between Messi and arch-rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, and others.

I’m fuming. Get this man out of the GOAT debate now https://t.co/Ha4XRKaX69

GOAT #CopaAmerica
Barcelona fans call MESSI the GOAT, Magician, Messiah & god of football

But when the COPA called for a saviour, it was Jesus that answered and save Brazil from the Argentine

people are only tired of this comparison every year when Messi starts disappearing in important games. The rest of year when he’s stat padding vs small teams people can’t stop kissing his ass calling him goats and shit https://t.co/MmdZAhLclE

No player born of any human will be greater than Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi will NEVER be in this man's level. 🔥

I love how people use the "Ronaldo is the GOAT because he's won international trophies and Messi hasn't" argument.

I guess they forget Ronaldo wasn't even on the field for most of the Euro final. 😂😂😂

Stop trying to compare the two. #CopaAmerica
