The biggest superstar missing out from the Copa America tournament is undoubtedly Barcelona superstar Neymar. The Brazilian was forced by his club to chosse between the Copa and the Olympics and Neymar decided to take part in the Olympics which will be held in his home country.
Neymar has already won almost all the top club honours including the Champions League, La Liga, Copa Del Rey and the Club World Cup. Having formed an amazing partnership with his Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, it would have been interesting to watch how those three would have fared individually for Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil respectively.
Neymar will be hoping that his choice to miss the Copa Centenario will not cost his beloved Brazil the title.
