Scoring a goal is one of the most challenging task in football, but doing so while bearing the expectations of an entire nation adds a unique pressure not found in club football.
The Copa America is ultimately about the team’s success, but the competition can also be played for individual honors. One award that stands out among the rest is the Golden Boot.
Every tournament, the top scorer of the tournament has the honor of taking home the Golden Boot. Lionel Messi won the last Copa America 2021 trophy after scoring four goals and providing five assists as Argentina won the title.
Copa America 2024 wasn’t short on goals either, as some of the best strikers looked to fire their nations to glory. From Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez to Vinicius Jr., Darwin Nunez and Salomon Rondon, a host of star forwards have stepped up to the plate and provided their country with moments of magic in the form of clutch goals in high-profile games.
Who won Copa America 2024 Golden Boot for top goal scorer?
Lautaro Martinez of Argentina won the Copa America 2024 Golden Boot, coming out on top in what was a fiercely contested race to lead the scoring chart with 5 goals.
While Lautaro Martinez was the front-runner to scoop the award, Julian Alvarez, Luis Diaz, and Jhon Cordoba.
