Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, ignored the Copa America third-place medal ceremony after he was shown a red card in the first half during the third place match against Chile.
The Barcelona superstar laid on Argentina’s first goal on Saturday for Sergio Aguero, his first contribution in open play during the tournament as Paulo Dybala made it 2-0 within 22 minutes.
Messi, whose standing as an all-time great will always come under scrutiny without silverware on the international front, as he was sent off later along with Chile’s Gary Medel following a head butt incident.
Referee, Mario Diaz de Vivar, sent both men off as players from both sides joined the escalating brawl that lasted a while to calm down but Messi refused to come out when the Argentina team came back for their bronze medals.
