PSG attacker, Angel Di Maria, scored the only goal that gave Lionel Messi's side their first title in a long time.
A goal.com report stated: Lionel Messi finally banished the memories of years of international despair as his Argentina team downed Brazil 1-0 to take the Copa America title in the Selecao's own backyard.
Messi was seven years old when last the Albiceleste - Argentine national team - won a continental title in 1993.
He has had a series of disappointments with the team, both as key player and skipper. Messi has at a point retired from the team before returning after appeals.
For many Ghanaian fans, the victory reignites and resets the long running GOAT - greatest of all time - debate between Messi and Portuguese playmaker Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi has long been shamed for failing to win a trophy with his national side despite his stellar achievements at club level with Barcelona.
Below are some tweets relative to Argentina and Messi's feat
