Messi chooses not to speak to the press after loss in Copa America final

In a understandable attitude, although many say he was a sore loser, Lionel Messi refused to speak with the media, after losing in penalties with Argentina. This happened in the Copa America final that, in the end, favored Chile.

Minutes after the penalty shootout, Lionel Messi walked through the mixed zone, where the journalists were waiting for him, and he just kept walking. Despite the calls from the press members, 'Lio' preferred not to stop for any reason and continued on his way.

With his hands in his pockets, a distraught face, and a backpack on his back. That's how Lionel Messi was seen, who lost his second consecutive final with Argentina. Last year he was defeated by Germany in the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
