Copa America 2019: Brazil captain Dani Alves backs Lionel Messi's criticism of referees after semi-final
The full-back has come out in support of Lionel Messi's allegations.
Can’t believe Messi out with a red card.
The problem started when he started criticizing the referee from the Brazil vs Argentine match.
Even Dani Alves senses the animosity of the referee against Argentina.
Currently lesson learned.
At least he could give both players yellow card and moved on.
This is their only defense to change the game.
Everybody wants to see Messi on the field.
When you are so good, even the referee doesn’t like you.
It is a third place game so no worries
Argentina should win easily.

Concert with all the information that our friend @gduran offers us. Medel attacked Messi and what he did was face him and defend his face, they should not have expelled Messi from the game. The referee should have reviewed the VAR, and the action is not clear.
However, there are always things like this, there are blows, misunderstandings and mistakes in everything.
There is no animosity against Argentina, it's just the complaining starts when calls go against a team, when they played Venezuela there was a clear penalty and two hand balls in the Argentine area that weren't called , so would that mean the referees were against Venezuela?
As for Messi being sent off, he pushed Medel without the ball in play and it was out of the field, he tried to fight back when Medel started pushing him but I think he got scared.
Usually this is not Messi way of playing the game. Argentine won anyway as best third
Yes, they finished third, which is not I think good enough for Argentina fans, that is about 26 years without any international trophies.
