On August 1st, the Copa America officially announced the 2024 Best XI, with Messi included, leaving many foreign fans stunned. Foreign fans are baffled by Messi’s inclusion in the Copa America Best XI, seeing it as a marketing victory.
One fan stated, “Who even knows what Messi did in this Copa America?”
Another fan pointed out that even James Rodriguez was forced to adjust his position to make way for Messi: “They made James Rodriguez play in midfield just to free up the right-wing position, all so they could include Messi in the Best XI.”
Other fans attribute Messi’s inclusion to marketing prowess: “You know, Messi only scored one goal throughout the whole tournament. It’s beyond me how he got into the Best XI. I’ve never seen such powerful marketing.”
In the 2024 Copa America, Argentina stormed through to the final, ultimately defeating Colombia 1-0 in extra time, successfully defending their title. This is Messi’s second Copa America title in his career.
