Indescribable happiness on one side, deep sadness on the other. Sports are cruel. Only wins count. Every defeat is bitter, but victories are made up of defeats, and those who cannot bear defeat do not deserve to win. Sports are made up of smiles and shouts of joy and just as many tears. Euro 2016 also served up many emotional scenes; emotions boiled over during the playing of the national anthem and bitter defeats, such as Croatia's against Portugal, when Luka Modrić was inconsolable. But the most up-to-date emotional video comes from the USA, where arguably the greatest soccer player of all time, Lionel Messi, was overcome by tears after another defeat in the Copa America final. These are the most emotional moments in football that made the whole world cry.
Football is, like any sport, emotional carousel. Even though the scoreboard doesn't say so, winning and losing are two sides of the same coin, because you can't win if you've never lost before. Every athlete is aware of this, but some people adopt it and tolerate it better than others.

The giants of sports do not take defeat as something bad, but as motivation to move forward. But at the moment of defeat, it is sometimes difficult to come to terms with it and collect thoughts, and then emotions overcome many people. In the football world, we cried together with Lionel Messi, who lost to Argentina third consecutive final (twice in the final of the Copa America, when he was the goalkeeper of Chile, and the year before last in the final of the World Cup, when his dreams of the title of the world champion were buried by Germany) and after the end of the game he could not hide his deep disappointment and hold back tears. Football history is full of such touching moments.
