Chile beat Argentina on penalties, repeat as Copa América champions

Chile have won the Copa América for a second straight year, repeating as champions beating Argentina on penalties once again to successfully defend their South American crown. Claudio Bravo represents Barcelona and gets to lift the trophy again as Chile captain.

But most Barça fans aren't happy after Sunday night in New Jersey. Argentina's loss means a third straight second-place finish for Lionel Messi at a major tournament with the national team -- along with the 2014 World Cup loss to Germany, and last year's loss to Chile. After pretty much carrying the Albiceleste on his back all the way to the final game, Messi couldn't finish the job.
