Copa America XI: Claudio Bravo and Lionel Messi make it in

Copa America XI: Claudio Bravo and Lionel Messi make it in

Chile won the Copa America on home soil and were deserved champions, thus their players take up many berths in the Sport English Copa America XI. 

GK: Claudio Bravo (Chile and Barcelona)

Close between him and Colombia's David Ospina, but the Barcelona man shaded it.

DR: Mauricio Isla (Chile and Juventus)

Piled forward to join several attacks and was a key outlet.

DC: Gary Medel (Chile and Inter)

At his brutal best as he drove Chile to glory.

DC: Jeison Murillo (Colombia and Inter)

Showed his talent and why Inter decided to snatch him from Granada.

DL: Filipe Luis (Brazil and Chelsea)

Little opportunity at Stamford Bridge, but one of the few Brazil stars who played well.

MC: Charles Aranguiz (Chile and Internacional)

A midfield motor and surely bound for Europe after these displays.

MC: Arturo Vidal (Chile and Juventus)

Scored three goals in the group stage then slowed down, but offered hugely important intensity.

MC: Jorge Valdivia (Chile and Palmeiras)

His creativity was a delight to watch and helped his team become top scorers.

RW: Lionel Messi (Argentina and Barcelona)

Didn't play well in the final but was otherwise brilliant. The best player in the world.

FC: Eduardo Vargas (Chile and Napoli)

Also suffered in the last game, but had been hugely important until that point.

LW: Alexis Sanchez (Chile and Arsenal)

The biggest star in Chile's team and the one who scored the vital penalty to earn them their first ever Copa America.
