2019 Copa America: What Messi said after Argentina’s 2-0 loss to Colombia

Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi, has reacted to Argentina’s 2-0 loss to Colombia on Saturday night.

Messi said he was ‘feeling bitter’ after they lost their Copa America Group B opener.

Roger Martinez and Duvan Zapata both scored to give Colombia their first win over Argentina in 12 years.

Speaking after the game, Messi told post match press conference, “We leave here feeling bitter. In the second half we had our chances.

“We didn’t want to start this way, obviously, but now we have to lift our heads and keep going.

“In the first half we retreated a little and were holding on, but in the second we really opened up.

“Whenever you lose it’s hard for us, we usually take it badly. Now we have to think about Paraguay.”
