Lionel Messi has a drop in his ranking this month because of his poor performances in Copa America. The Argentine lost both matches he was involved in July and was even sent off in the match against Chile.

While the red card might have been a very controversial one and something that should have never happened, it remains on official records forever. Messi might argue that they were outdone by the officials more than the Brazil players in the semi-final, he ended up on the losing side despite his best efforts.

With Antoine Griezmann joining Messi in attack this season at Barcelona, there is a good chance for the Argentine to head up the ranking once again. However, he will have to do a lot as the top 3 right now have been at their best this whole year and are expected to maintain that level.
