Pablo Zabaleta is hopeful that Argentina's campaign in this summer's Copa America will make up for his "disappointing" season with Manchester City.

The former Premier League champions ended the campaign without silverware and finished eight points behind title winners Chelsea in the table.

In Chile this month, Zabaleta is hoping that his nation can be crowned Copa America champions for the first time since 1993.

"It's been disappointing this season, for me personally, not to win anything with Manchester City and you look at the players we have got in the team and you expect to win something - it's the same with the national team," the Manchester Evening News quotes Zabaleta as saying.

"But football is like that sometimes and it happens. Not everything is perfect. After what happened with City, I need to make sure we can do something with Argentina."

Argentina's last major tournament outing was at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where they lost to Germany in the final.
