The Barcelona captain provided a superb assist in the 7th minute for Lautaro Martinez to score the first goal for Argentina in the 7th minute of the encounter.
Lionel Messi and his teammates tried all they could to score another goal in the first half, but Colombian defenders were brilliant in their department as it ended 1-0 after 45 minutes.
Colombian players changed their styles of play in the second half and they had to wait until the 61st minute before scoring their goal through Luis Diaz.
The regulation time ended 1-1 between Argentina and Colombia before they proceeded into penalties.
What Lionel Messi said to Yerry Mina
According to the report on Metro and GMS, Lionel Messi asked Yerry Mina why he did not dance after missing the last penalty that sent Colombia out of the 2021 Copa America.
Argentina will take on Brazil on Saturday and the 34-year-old Messi will be hoping he can finally inspire his country to success, having also lost the 2014 World Cup final.
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Barcelona chiefs are currently facing difficult moments in which they will have to reduce their wage bill by selling some players before they can be able to register Depay, Sergio Aguero, Garcia, Emerson and even Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi's contract recently expired and the Argentine is currently with the national team playing in the Copa America even though Barcelona chiefs are at the top of the situation.
After helping Manchester City to win the 2020/21 Premier League title, Sergio Aguero left the Etihad landlords for a move to Barcelona, but he has not been officially registered.
As things stand, Barcelona need to reduce their wage bill by €200,000, despite having already sold Konrad de la Fuente, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Junior Firpo.
