The above video shows a trophy, believed to be the Copa America player of the tournament award, being dragged away before Saturday night's post-match celebrations.
BeIN Sports, as per AS, suggest the award was due to be given to Argentina's Leo Messi, but he was too distraught to take it because his side lost the final on penalties to Chile.
At last year's World Cup final, Messi was clearly upset when picking up the player of the tournament trophy after losing the final to Germany.
It is also believed he refused a man-of-match award during Argentina's 2-2 draw with Paraguay in the group stage, after his team surrendered a 2-0 lead.
