Diego Maradona has urged Argentina fans to leave Lionel Messi alone in
the wake of his decision to retire from international football. Messi,
the Argentina captain, made the announcement on Sunday following defeat
to Chile on penalties in the final of the Copa America. It was the
fourth final in a major tournament that the 29-year-old has been on the
wrong end of the scoreline after the 2007 and 2015 Copas, and the 2014
World Cup defeat to Germany. Fans have pleaded with the 29-year-old to
perform a u-turn on the decision, but Maradona has said the Barcelona
star needs time to consider his decision.
