WATCH: Lionel Messi's incredible dribble ties Paraguay defenders in knots to help Argentina book place in Copa America final

Argentina thrashed Paraguay 6-1 in Concepcion on Tuesday night to book their place in the Copa America final, with one particular moment in the match drawing gasps from the viewing public. 

With Gerardo Martino's side 3-1 up, Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi went on a solo run through the Paraguayan back-line to create Argentina's fourth.

Picking the ball up off the toes of Victor Caceres, Messi drives towards the defence, cutting past Pablo Aguilar before skipping past the challenge of Bruno Valdez. Unfortunately for the Paraguayan pair, Valdez's challenge instead catches his team-mate, leaving them crumpled in a heap.

Messi goes on to set up a chance for Javier Pastore, before Angel di Maria knocks it in to complete the move. Click below to watch the video.
