Chile beat Argentina on penalties to win Copa América – as it happened

Messi

Chile just won Copa America after downing Argentina on penalty kicks for the second consecutive year. Chile becomes the first team to repeat as Copa America champion since Argentina in 1946-47. It’s more heartbreak for Argentina and Messi, as they lose in a major final for the third consecutive year. “Santiago, and the whole of Chile, has just gone crazy. And tomorrow’s a pubic holiday: the celebration will be long and very well lubricated, all accompanied by the best Latin music – and a lot of very happy dancing chilenos.” A fe minutes ago, Chile saluted their fans, who chanted “We Are The Champions (the Queen version).” Then the players huddled in the middle and sang and screamed among themselves. The camera cuts to Biglia weeping, alone and inconsolable. Messi  sat down on the subs bench, looking stunned. Argentina’s drought continues – it’s now 23 years without a major trophy.
