Following Argentina’s loss to Chile in the final of the Copa America, Lionel Messi has decided to retire from International football. Messi missed a penalty shoot in the match and this might have triggered the call. The news spread like anything and tweets on #Messi started flooding, some being trolls and others praising him.
Here are some of the best tweets

Messi’s penalty record for Barca this season 3 out of 7. He basically meant to say I quit… taking penalties. They didn’t let him finish!
