The attacker posted to social media: "The Copa América is over and it's time to reflect, know how to deal with defeat. The feeling of frustration reappears. Again on penalties. I failed to get two yellow cards.
"I saw the elimination from the outside again, but this time it's my fault. I apologise for that. I know how to hear the criticism and the harshest, believe me, they come from within.
"My journey through the national team, fortunately, has just begun. Together with my colleagues, I will have the opportunity to relocate our team to the place it deserves. ¡WE WILL BACK! ¡I LOVE YOU AND WE ARE TOGETHER!"
