The word in Argentina is that Leo Messi refused the
award for the Copa América’s player of the tournament.
According to the website ‘minutouno’, Messi’s snub
prompted the organisers to remove the trophy from the stage and leave the prize
vacant, rather than give it to someone else.
The Barça star was feeling heavy-hearted after
another disappointment at international level and had a hard enough time going
up to get his runners-up medal, which he took off no sooner had Ángel María
Villar placed it around his neck.
Messi was guilty of a similar stunt earlier in the
tournament, rejecting the man-of-the-match award out of frustration following
Argentina’s opening game, in which Paraguay roared back to draw 2-2 after the
‘Albiceleste’ had led 2-0.
