Lionel Messi says he would "give it all up" for Argentina to win the Copa America.

"I would give it all up to win the Copa America," he told La Nacion. "This group deserves it for the way they fight. We had a great World Cup and we deserve it.

"It's what I dream of. Winning the Copa America would us some give peace of mind for the coming World Cup qualifiers. Not only for my team-mates, for the coach and for me, but for the country, too. The fans also want us to succeed."

Messi has won La Liga seven times and the Champions League four times, but he has never won a trophy with Argentina's senior team.
