Argentinian national team and forward Lionel Messi once again left empty-handed.
Last night, losing 0:2 to Brazil, the Argentinians had to put their dreams on hold to fight for the "Copa America" trophies in the future, and their leader decided to criticize the work of the referees.
"Brazilians were not better than us. The opponents scored the first goal early, and the second one came after a situation where a penalty kick was not awarded for a foul against S. Aguero.
The referees were giving cards for all sorts of trivia, but then didn't even use the VAR system. It's just unbelievable.
This was happening throughout the whole game. The referees were more lenient to the hosts and such nonsense prevented us from focusing on the match.
Of course, there are no excuses, but these things should be reviewed and analyzed.
I think we played a great game. We put in a lot of effort and the opponents did not surpass us," explained L. Messi.
