Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said he is constantly surprised by his team`s ability to carve out wins after their 1-0 extra-time triumph over Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday.
The Copa America final triumph means Argentina become the first South American team to win three straight major tournament titles. The Albiceleste followed up their 2021 Copa America title with the World Cup triumph a year later and successfully defended their Copa title in the USA. Spain are the only other team in international football to have won a World Cup in between two straight continental titles when they clinched Euro wins in 2008 and 2012 either side of the 2010 World Cup.
