Five best players of Copa America 2021
The La Albiceleste were at their absolute best against Brazil in the final and the solitary goal from Angel Di Maria made sure they win their first trophy in 28 years.
Now as the dust has settled on the events here we have looked at the five best players from the tournament:
1. Rodrigo De Paul (Argentina)
This Argentine midfielder is the answer to his country’s long absence of complete midfield talent they have lacked for so long. The 27-year-old has been Udinese’s star man for some time now and made sure he maintains the same form in this tournament also. He scored his first goal in the quarter-finals of the Copa America 2021 against Ecuador and assisted the only goal in the final. He was the main driving force of the side throughout the competition.
2. Luis Diaz (Colombia)
In the absence of star midfielder James Rodriguez, it was attacker Luis Diaz who took the responsibility of the offensive third. He scored the joint-most number of goals in this tournament (Four goals). He scored the equalizer in the semi-final against Argentina and helped his side reach the semi-finals of Copa America before losing in the penalty shootout. He also scored a brace in the match for 3rd place against Peru.
