Lionel Messi leads Argentina into the final of the Copa America Centenario, as they take on Chile in a repeat of last year's final.
La Roja claimed the title on home soil 12 months ago and will hope to be good enough to hold off an Albiceleste attack, who smashed this year's hosts, USA, 4-0 in their semi-final.
Alexis Sanchez and co. won't be giving up their crown easily at MetLife Stadium, but could Argentina end a 23-year wait for continental glory?
