Their triumph extended their unbeaten streak to 20 games under Scaloni, and it was Brazil's first competitive loss since losing to Belgium in the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals.

When the game was over, tearful Messi knelt and covered his face with his hands. The majority of his teammates then ran towards him to congratulate him and flung him into the air. He went up to the few hundred visitors singing his name at the Maracana and chanted with them. During the ceremony, Messi kissed the trophy before hoisting it into the air.
