Argentina and Lionel Messi fans are in for a treat as Amazon Prime has confirmed a documentary series that would encapsulate their 2021 Copa America win.
It was Messi's first senior international trophy - a milestone moment in his career that was one of the factors behind him winning the Ballon d'Or that season.
The last time La Albiceleste had won a major trophy was the Copa America in 1993, but the trophy drought finally came to an end as they pipped rivals Brazil in the final.
Messi was the joint-top scorer in the competition with Colombia's Luis Diaz (four goals) and had also provided five assists. With a hand in nine out of the 13 goals Argentina scored, the legendary attacker unsurprisingly earned the Golden Ball award.
It will now be the subject of a documentary series and GOAL brings you all the details, including when it is released, how to watch and more.
What is the Argentina: All or Nothing Amazon documentary about?

It will also highlight Lionel Scaloni's methods in the Argentine dressing room, with the coach transforming the fortunes of the South American nation after taking over in 2018.
