Messi Blasts Copa America ‘Corruption’ After Red Card.
Lionel Messi hit out at “corruption and the referees” at the Copa America after he was harshly sent off as Argentina secured third place with a 2-1 victory over Chile on Saturday.
A furious Medel responded by chest-bumping Messi twice in an incident that probably merited no more than a single yellow card for the Chilean.“Medel always goes to the limit, but it wasn’t a red card for either of us. He could have consulted VAR,” said Messi. “Before the match started he said he liked to talk and hoped that we’d have a calm match, but at the first incident he sent me off.”
In Sao Paulo, Sergio Aguero and Paulo Dybala scored the first half goals that ensured victory for Argentina.
