Brazil captain Dani Alves has criticised Argentina counterpart Lionel Messi after he accused South American governing body CONMEBOL of corruption and setting up the 2019 Copa America to favour the Selecao.
Argentina lost 2-0 to Brazil—who went on to win the tournament—in the semi-finals before Messi was controversially sent off against Chile in the third place play-off.
Alves is close friends with his former Barcelona team-mate, but he told SporTV's Bem, Amigos (h/t Goal):
"A friend is not always right just because he's a friend. You can say it in the heat of the moment, but I still won't agree.
