James Rodriguez may have finished the Copa America final empty-handed, but the tournament in the USA has proven to be one of the highlights of his career, showing that his talent is far from fading.

Had Colombia defeated Argentina in the Copa America final, it would have been a story worthy of a Hollywood movie. However, the return of the great Colombian talent, James Rodriguez, to the big stage ended without the 'happy ending'.

The legendary Colombian did not win his first trophy in the Los Cafeteros jersey, but he masterfully demonstrated to the football world that the virtuoso in him is still very much alive. The former star of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich played a brilliant tournament, scoring one goal and providing six assists. Despite strong competition from Argentina's Lautaro Martinez, he was named the best player of the tournament.

In 2021, James Rodriguez was not even in Colombia's squad for the Copa America due to poor club form, and in 2022, Colombia, which had been in decline in recent years, did not qualify for the World Cup.

With Rodriguez's return, everything turned around. After excellent performances in the Copa America, there are growing rumors in Spain that the 33-year-old Rodriguez will play for Atletico Madrid next season.
