Messi's stats in the Copa América

With the Copa América a few days away, it's time to look at Messi's stats in the competition.

He has scored 9 goals and given 12 assists (or 14 counting non-Opta) in 27 games, which equals 21 (or 23) G/A in total, a pretty good amount. As a fun fact, he's made both a goal hat-trick and an assists hat-trick in this competition.

With stats since the 2015 Copa América, he's made 61 shots (24 on target), 83 dribbles, 38 key passes, won 6 MoTM (according to WhoScored/SofaScore) and has an average rating of 8.05, which is pretty good.

And finally, in terms of awards, he's won the 2015 Copa América Golden Ball, the 2007 Best Young Player Award, 9 official MoTM awards since 2011, and he's been in three different ToTT.

As we can see, Messi has some pretty good stats in this competition, and hopefully he can expand them further in this Copa América. That is all for today, so I hope you liked this entry and I'll see you in the next blog.
