2021 has been a year to remember for sports fans around the world. The Euro 2020 and the COPA América were the first two big international sports competitions to make a comeback and sports fans were relishing the action. The Italians who are still unbeaten after 34 matches in their longest winning streak went on to lift the title under coach Roberto Mancini. It was Lionel Messi’s time in the COPA América as Argentina went on to win the trophy which finally gave Messi the cup that has always eluded him. The striker recently signed with Paris Saint-Germain in what must be the biggest signing of the season after having spent his whole career at Barcelona. The summer Olympics which was hosted in Tokyo was another massive sporting event that had viewers from around the globe glued to their screens and Africa did very well in the games under the tough conditions. The Tour de France was another big event that saw the Slovenian Tadej Pogačar riding away with a yellow jacket and his second title of the most coveted cycling event in the world.
