Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has lost out on the 2024 Copa America Player of the Tournament to Colombia’s James Rodriguez.
Messi and his teammates won the title for the second consecutive time with a 1-0 win over the Colombians.
But Rodriguez has been adjudged the best player at the competition.
Rodriguez set a Copa America record with six assists and also scored one goal.
The playmaker had missed out on the 2021 Copa America after a poor run of form hit him at the club level.
Los Cafeteros also failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
