The 'friendly' Superclasico between Argentina and Brazil last Friday was anything but, with Lionel Messi involved in much of the controversy.

The generous penalty that Messi was awarded prior to opening the scoring, his decision to shush Tite, and Thiago Silva's comments on him have all created a lot of attention in the media.
Now, a video has shown Messi having what seems to be a long discussion with Barcelona teammate Arthur Melo, following him as he walks away.
Following a foul by Rodrigo De Paul on Casemiro, the Argentina captain came over towards the referee and saw Arthur appearing to ask that the Udinese man be shown a yellow card.
Messi did not appreciate that from the 23-year-old, however Arthur surprised many by seeing to ignore the words of his club captain.

it would be wrong if arthur listened to messi it would make it look like arthur is scared of him so im happy arthur did what was good for his team and not listened to his other teams captain. shows good professionalism from both players. now the media will start looking for ways to show that messi hates arthur and make messi seem like the bad guy like they are doing with griezmann😳
