Last final of Copa America that Chile played was in 1987. On that occasion, La Roja lost 1-0 to Uruguay, in a match that was conditioned by the early expulsion of Eduardo 'Mocho' Gomez, who until then was one of the defenders.

"Playing the final was an unforgettable experience, but I was sent off in the first minutes. I was not up to the task," says the player from Ovalle. In the 14th minute, the defender received a red card for a strong tackle on Enzo Francescoli.

Regarding the current National Team, Gomez pointed out that "Chile has played very well. They have had great matches, I loved how they played against Uruguay. They have a good style of play, with a lot of personality. They have been playing well for a long time, it is a pleasure to watch them play and I think we will be up to the task in the final."

What the 'Mocho', who also played for Cobreloa among other clubs, made clear is that in order to defeat Argentina this Saturday at the National Stadium, Sampaoli's team will have to play like never before.

"It is the moment to play the match of their lives, they must be calm and very confident. They must give themselves to the team and individually try to do important things like they have been doing. Hopefully, we achieve the dream of everyone," he concluded.
