Lionel Messi has announced his retirement from international football, shortly after Argentina lost the Copa America final against Chile (4-2).
Messi missed a penalty in the shootout but was instrumental in getting his country to the final match. However, he shocked the world of sport with what many hope is a decision he will eventually make a U-turn on.
This is how Twitter reacted to the news…
