Right-winger - Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Who else? Lionel Messi has been the best player at Copa America 2021 by a comfortable margin, and fans are seeing a side to him that very few knew even existed.
Trending
The usually reserved Messi cut a passionate figure during the penalty shootout against Colombia in the semi-final, and his exchange with centre-back Yerry Mina after the Colombian's miss was a key talking point after the game. The 34-year old has four goals and five assists at Copa America 2021 so far.
Messi's future with Barcelona is up in the air, with the Argentine's contract with the club having expired a few days ago. Barcelona have confirmed that talks are ongoing about a new deal, but for now, Messi's focus will be on the Copa America 2021 final.
Centre-forward - Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)
It is clear that Lautaro Martinez is now Argentina's first-choice No.9, ahead of the highly experienced Sergio Aguero.
Aguero, who recently joined Barcelona, has been reduced to a bench role at Copa America 2021, with Martinez preferred to lead the line. The 23-year old has done well in the competition so far and scored Argentina's goal in the semi-final against Colombia.
Martinez is regarded as one of the best young forwards in the world, and enjoyed arguably his best season last season with Inter Milan. The striker has 28 caps for the national team and has scored 14 goals.
Left-winger - Papu Gomez (Sevilla)
It will be interesting to see who starts on the left-wing for Argentina in the final of Copa America 2021.
Fiorentina's Nicolas Gonzalez, Sevilla's Papu Gomez and Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria are all options. Gonzalez started in the semi-final but had minimal impact, while Di Maria has predominantly been utilised as an impact substitute at Copa America 2021.
Gomez, on the other hand, has enjoyed a good tournament. Having left Atalanta in controversial circumstances this January, the 33-year old joined Sevilla. Gomez is highly creative and can play in various forward positions, and seems to be an ideal candidate to start in the final.
Other options: Sergio Aguero (Barcelona), Angel Di Maria (Paris Saint-Germain), Nicolas Gonzalez (Fiorentina), Joaquin Correa (Lazio), Angel Correa (Atletico Madrid), Julian Alvarez (River Plate)
