The last piece to Gerardo Martino’s puzzle for the 2015 Copa America has arrived and his name is Lionel Messi. Just a few days after winning his fourth Champions League title, La Pulga declares himself ready for a perfect ending.
“We want to win a trophy with Argentina. Winning it would be a perfect ending to the season," Messi
It is him and Javier Mascherano who hope to bring home the last title in dispute this season. They won it all with Barcelona and will now lead Argentina’s efforts for a 15th continental title for La Albiceleste.
La Pulga and Mascherano traveled together and 
"Lifting silverware with the Argentinian national team is a dream. This group deserves to win something. We felt really down after the World Cup"
Messi finished second in the Pichichi race with 41 goals and tied in first with Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo with ten goals in the Champions League.
"We’re going into this in better shape than we did at the World Cup because we had a few players injured,” La Pulga added.
Messi will turn 28 on June 24 and has already been playing with the senior national team for ten years. He has 97 games with this team under his belt and has scored 45 goals. He was selected as the best young player in the 2007 Copa America.
Messi seemed happy and relaxed during his press conference
“This is one of the closest tournaments in a long time. I love good football and would pay to watch Brazil, Colombia and Chile."
Argentina begins its participation in the Copa America against Paraguay on Saturday. They will also face Uruguay and Jamaica in the group stage.
