Alexis Sanchez: Chile "deserve" Copa America win

Chile midfielder Alexis Sanchez believes that the team "deserve" to be Copa America champions after beating Argentina on penalties in the final.

Alexis Sanchez has said that Chile "deserve" their win over Argentina in the final of the Copa America.

The host nation, who lost to Brazil in the round of 16 at last summer's World Cup, beat the World Cup finalists 4-1 on a penalty shootout to secure their first success in the tournament.

The Arsenal midfielder told reporters: "We talked about it in Brazil that we were going to win the Copa America. This is really a great generation, we deserve this.

"It is a very important achievement for me, now I will enjoy it and hopefully we can continue on the path we are on. It was an extra-special tournament, because we were champions. Not to detract from the other teams, because they also did things right.

"It is very special. To beat our rivals leaves more content, but mostly because we won at home."

Chile had previously lost in the final on four occasions.
