The National’s Sport cover for the Tuesday, June 9 cover, featuring Lionel Messi, Neymar and Alexis Sanchez ahead of the 2015 Copa America starting Thursday in Chile.
South America's flagship international tournament is always a star-studded affair, and this year promises to be no different as Messi looks to carry over his Barcelona form over into Argentina duty and rebuke critics about his international play; Neymar seeks to lead Brazil on a redemption tour following last summer's World Cup hosting debacle; and Alexis Sanchez leads a golden generation for the hosts in search of a first major title for Chile – four times the runners-up in the Copa America.
We also have a look at the 12 players to watch at the tournament, led by Colombia's James Rodriguez, the breakout star of the Brazil World Cup.
