The organisers of the Copa America Centenario have revealed the official Team of the Tournament and announced the winner of the Golden Ball, snubbing Lionel Messi for the award.

Chile beat Argentina 4-2 on penalties on Sunday night, and lifted their second consecutive Copa America title.

It therefore does not come as a surprise that as many as eight Chile players made it into the Copa XI, while Argentina have three representatives.

Alexis Sanchez beat Lionel Messi to the Golden Ball for the Most Valuable Player after scoring three goals and assisting a further strike.

Messi, who impressed with five goals and four assists, but failed with his penalty in the final shootout, also missed out on the Golden Boot award, which was lifted by Eduardo Vargas, who scored six times for Chile.
