#1 Lionel Messi (Argentina)
Lionel Messi has won every individual and club prize there is to win. A player who is capable of singlehandedly winning matches for his country, Lionel Messi, apart from a solitary Olympic Gold medal has failed to win a major international trophy with the Albiceleste.
The Barcelona superstar has suffered heartbreak plenty of times in international tournaments narrowly missing out on the World Cup in 2014 and the Copa America in 2015. Blessed with a magical left foot and capable of going past the opposition defence in a blink of an eye, Messi is one of the greatest players of all time.
5 time Ballon d’Or winner, 4 time Champions League winner, 8 La Liga titles, Lionel Messi has just one thing missing in his career and it is a major international trophy. With Argentina favourites to win this Copa edition, Messi will be looking to finally get the monkey off his back.
