Fiery Lionel Messi taunts his old Barcelona team-mate Yerry Mina by shouting 'dance now' at him after missing a crucial penalty in Colombia's Copa America semi-final shoot-out defeat by Argentina

A fired-up Lionel Messi appeared to taunt Everton defender Yerry Mina - a former Barcelona team-mate - when he missed a penalty in the Copa America semi-final shoot-out.

Argentina and Colombia needed to be separated by spot-kicks having drawn 1-1 after extra-time. Mina stepped up to take his country's second penalty and had a chance to move them level on 1-1 after Rodrigo De Paul had missed, but failed to convert.

And Messi's relief was clear to see, as he appeared to repeatedly shout 'dance now' in Mina's direction as he and his team-mates celebrated Emiliano Martinez's save.
