Lionel Messi won the Golden Boot in 2021.

Copa America is the South American continental championship where the best nations across the continent compete to win the ultimate trophy.

With its first-ever edition held in 1916, this competition is the oldest international continental football tournament in the world. Unlike the 16-team group stage format now, the maiden Copa America was a small tournament with just four teams: Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil, where Uruguay were crowned the inaugural champions (a round-robin format at the time).

Over its 48 iterations, Argentina are the most successful nations in the competition’s history, with a whopping 16 Copa America titles each under their belt.

Brazil comes in third with an impressive nine Copa America titles in its history. On the other end of the spectrum lie Ecuador and Venezuela, who remain the only two CONMEBOL members to have never clinched the continental title.

Copa America has also produced some of the most prolific goal-scoring campaigns by some of the greatest players of all time throughout its various editions. Greats such as Jair da Rosa, Maschio, and Ambrois hold the record for the joint-most goals scored in a single tournament (9 goals). On the other hand, incredible players such as Scarone, Marvezzi, Evaristo, and Lautaro Martinez hold the record for the joint-most goals scored in a single Copa America match (5 goals).
