  • As Argentina mourned defeat and the international retirement of superstar Lionel Messi, just metres away Chile - and one man in particular - were having the time of their lives.
    Not only had he just secured a Copa America triumph with his country, but Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez was voted Player of the Tournament to cap off a memorable evening.
    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 incredible image to his Instagram account from the Chile dressing room at the MetLife Stadium in New York.


    With the impressive Copa America trophy on his left knee, his Golden Ball gong on his right knee and a winners' medal round his neck, Sanchez was understandably delighted.
    He wrote: 'I am speechless. Just thank my team-mates and all the people who supported us ... Now Chileans enjoy.'
