Sergio Aguero celebrated Lionel Messi’s arrival in Miami for the 2024 Copa America with a unique and memorable photo shoot featuring a herd of goats.

This symbolic gesture aimed to highlight the arrival of what is considered by many as the best football team on the planet, ready to defend their title. Aguero’s playful nod to Messi as the “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) set a lively tone for Argentina’s campaign.

In an interview with Stake, Aguero shared his excitement:

“I’ve played with the GOAT, and it was great to spend the day with some more of his kind! If Argentina can win Copa America, then they can cement their legacy as one of the greatest teams of all time. Argentina is always a candidate… but, pressure? I don’t think so.”

“I think we’re used to this. Now, it’s about preserving the style and team-concept we’ve developed. We won what we’ve won because of this.”

As Argentina sets up their base in Miami, the upcoming Copa America could potentially be Messi’s final major international tournament. While he might consider extending his illustrious career to compete in one last World Cup, the pressure is off, having secured the coveted title in Qatar two years ago.
