Lionel Messi wins 2021 Copa America Golden Boot

Argentina claimed the Copa America crown for the first time since 1993, defeating Brazil 1-0 in the final at the Maracana on Sunday.

Angel Di Maria's strike in the 22nd minute was enough for the Albiceleste to overcome Tite's men and end their run of failures in in major finals.

It was also Lionel Messi's first senior title with Argentina and the Barcelona superstar also won the tournament Golden Boot.
