The announcement made by Argentine and Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi about his retirement from international football has left his country’s football in turmoil.

The 28-year old made the announcement on Sunday following a traumatic penalty shootout defeat to Chile in the Copa America final.

Messi left the field in uncontrollable tears after missing a spot-kick in the shootout which made it his fourth straight defeat in a major final with Argentina.
 
He told reporters, “For me the national team is over.

“I’ve done all I can, I’ve been in four finals and it hurts not to be a champion.


Also Manchester city forward, Sergio Aguero said, “We were all devastated in the dressing room, particularly Leo, I’d never seen him in such a state.”

“It’s likely that Messi won’t be the only one to go into international retirement, several players are wondering whether to continue. It’s our toughest defeat to take.”
 
In a bid to get Messi change his mind, social media campaigns were immediately launched in Argentina.

Hashtags such as “NotevayasLeo,” Don’t go Leo,” “Messiquedate,” and “Messi stay,” went viral quickly.
