Since that July 10, when Argentina burned the books and hit the ground running by winning the Copa América at the Maracana Stadium, this rematch was expected. Even the game was lived with great expectation in Europe, despite the FIFA date that was played in the Old Continent. But things did not turn out as everyone expected. As it is known, in just five minutes of play, an official from the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency interrupted the playing field of the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, which led to the suspension of the match. And, from there, there were moments of confusion and tension.
The Anvisa man argued that he
should arrest goalkeeper Martínez, Romero, Buendía and Lo Celso because they had breached an isolation protocol before being deported
.
For this reason, the Argentine players left the field commanded by captain Lionel Messi who walked through the tunnel accompanied by his friend Dani Alves.
A few minutes later, a somewhat bizarre situation occurred, or at least unexpected.
Messi returned to the field of play, but he was not wearing his shirt, but the official bib of a photographer of the game
.
With that unexpected look, Messi had a tense conversation with his Brazilian counterparts, his DT Tité and Juninho Pernambucano:
"We're going," Messi warned.
"They did it in the wrong way, but they warned before that the players were informed," Juninho Pernambucano replied.
-They didn't warn us. We have been here for four days. They would have come the first day and not, 'interrupted the captain.
In the midst of the tension that was lived and the uncertainty about not knowing what position Conmebol would take before the suspension of the game and the possible removal of points, a pleasant moment was generated.
Is that, when a new group was formed in the hall of the stadium,
Paulo Dybala observed that the captain of the team was wearing a strange bib
and moved away from the group to see him from behind.
When he saw that on his back was read, "Photo", the Juve player could not contain his laughter.

The situation did not take long to generate thousands of memes.
And, as always, it inspired the Creole vivacity.
Is that, a few minutes later, a Mercado Libre publication offered a bib similar to Messi's for five thousand pesos.
The photographer's bib that Lionel Messi wore is already on sale in Mercado Libre.
What is missing now is the end of the story.
And we do not talk about what FIFA and Conmebol decide regarding the match.
But to know who was the photographer who gave Messi the bib.
If there was a change of shirts and the 10 most sought after was taken or it was simply a gift for the Argentine captain.
