About this episode
After a falling-out with the Argentine national team and a shaky reconciliation, Messi eventually finds his way back to play at the 2021 Copa America for yet another chance at redemption.

Our host Jasmine Garsd reflects on what a win would mean for Messi and for Argentina - and what it really takes to come home.
