If he was not decisive on Angel Di Maria’s goal in the final against Brazil (1-0), Lionel Messi carried the Albiceleste in his first Copa América coronation since 1993. Before the final, the Brazilian Neymar and himself had been elected players of the competition before the final because CONMEBOL could not decide between them, but they changed their minds. On its social networks, the South American body finally named the Argentinian as the only best player in the tournament.

With 4 goals and 5 assists in 7 Copa games, La Pulga is the player most involved in his team’s goals (9), far ahead of his former teammate at FC Barcelona (5, with 2 goals and 3 assists) . He also won the most honorary titles of men of the match (4), in addition to having made the most dribbles and passes in the last third of the field.
THE BEST! ????
