Former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Neymar is set to face off in the final and here we take a walk down memory lane to see the past winners of the Golden Boot. In the ongoing edition of the tournament, Messi has been the leading performer and is on course to pick up his first-ever Copa America Golden Boot.
The Argentine skipper has scored four goals so far, one more than teammate Lautaro Martinez. The other player with four to his name is Luis Diaz, but with Colombia out of the race, Messi is the favourite to pick up the award. Meanwhile Neymar has scored two goals so far including several other players. While Messi leads the pack, Martinez and Neymar are hot on his heels along with Papu Gomez and Lucas Paqueta.
Argentina will be looking to pick up their first Copa America title since 1993, when they take on an in-form Brazil. Meanwhile, defending champions Brazil, who have 9 titles to their name, will be looking to pick up their tenth title.
