Star Players at the Copa America 2024

• Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi has already secured his legacy, and the upcoming Copa America 2024 provides another opportunity for him to further enhance his reputation. He is currently just four goals shy of breaking the all-time Copa America scoring record of 17, and is on track to become the competition's all-time appearance leader.

• Vinicius Jr

Vinicius Jr. is on the brink of true superstardom. After his Champions League final heroics, winning the Copa America will increase his chances of winning this year's Ballon d'Or.

• Darwin Nunez

 

 

Darwin Nunez is a polarizing figure in football. The Uruguayan performance in the Copa America 2024 will be important for his country. Although the Liverpool man has a good instinct for chance-creation, he will be more focused on improving his efficiency in front of the goal.  

 

• Lautaro Martinez

 

 

Lautaro Martinez has been a star for Inter in Serie A, leading them to a Scudetto with his goal-scoring form. However, he needs to replicate this form in the national team.

• Luis Diaz

 

 

Luis Diaz is an important player for the Colombian side. Although Liverpool's forward is yet to be considered a world-class player, he is the go-to attacker for his national team. Diaz will need to lead his side with the same form we saw him show in his club last season.
