Peru tried hard but were not able to handle Neymar’s trickery in the end.
The only goal of the game came after Neymar did some stuff that enabled him to bamboozle three defenders and set up a pass for Lucas Paqueta.
They now will meet either Argentina or Colombia in the final at Macarana.
History is on their side as they have never ever lost a Copa America final on home soil.
However Messi in national colours is playing as he’s never been able to play before.He has scored 4 and made 4 assists and playing like he plays for Barcelona – something he’s never managed to do before,while playing for Argentina.
Macarana is the stadium where Argentina,with Messi as captain lost the World Cup final to Germany in 2014.
So Messi needs another shot at lifting a cup for his country at the Macarana – and Argentina haven’t won the Copa America since 1993
