After loosing the 2014 World Cup Final to Germany in extra time Lionel Messi had a brilliant season with Barcelona inspiring them to another treble winning season, a perfect preparation for the Copa America. After below par performances in the group stage Lionel Messi came to life against Paraguay providing 3 Assists and some mesmeric dribbles resulting in a 6-1 win for Argentina. Then came the chance for him to end his international misery with Argentina after loosing the World Cup last year, but it was not to be, Lionel Messi was nowhere near his best in the final, often finding himself covered by five Chile players. Argentina eventually lost the final on penalties although Lionel Messi scored but it wasn't enough, his international misery continues.
