Unusual location at the Arena Corinthians. Argentina was leading Chile with goals from Aguero and Dybala, until this moment of madness.
In the 37th minute of play, Messi and Medel were excluded after a big altercation. The two players reacted badly after a duel around the match, which caused the red card of the two players. It all started with an innocuous action where Messi was trying to recover the ball. The Chilean player protected the leather and felt a blow in the back. Quickly, the midfielder turned around and attacked the Barça player.
The two players then pushed each other with the head and chest. The referee absolutely did not hesitate to release the red card for both players. Both players asked for explanations but had no choice but to leave the lawn. Messi said goodbye to the competition in a surrealistic way.
The only expulsion experienced by Messi in his career dates back to August 17, 2005, already with Argentina. Almost 14 years later then, the '10' go again to the shower before everyone else.
