As Argentina continue to mourn their defeat and the international retirement of Captain Lionel Messi, Arsenal and Chile forward Alexi Sanchez is flaunting the Copa America and his Most Valuable Player (MVP) award trophies on Instagram.
Chile defeated Argentina’s La Albiceleste 4-2 after shoot-out to complete back-to-back tournament final against the South American rival. Not only had he just secured a Copa America triumph with his country, but Sanchez was voted Player of the Tournament to cap off a memorable evening in New Jersey, United States on Sunday.
Chile’s victory came on penalties after neither team could find the net in 120 minutes of football, but Sanchez once again played his part – just as he had in the previous five matches.
The Arsenal forward netted three times in the tournament – including a brace against Panama on June 15 – with only team-mate Eduardo Vargas, Messi and Gonzalo Higuain scoring more. Celebrating both his team and individual success, the 27-year-old posted an image to his Instagram account from the Chile dressing room at the MetLife Stadium in New York.
