The ruling world champions of Lionel Scaloni fell at the back of the first half, thanks to Luis Diaz‘s Briljant solo target.
The match was heated in the second period, with a series of flash points that took place in the last 20 minutes.
Chelsea Star Enzo Fernandez was broadcast 70 minutes before a high challenge at Kevin Castano.
The horror kick left Castano out of his head bleeding.
In the aftermath of the incident, Messi was concerned with a word war with old rival James Rodriguez.
They fought for several years while playing for their country, they were also on the other side of the divide of El Clasico Real Madrid-Barcelona.
The couple tried to cover their mouths during the conversation, although the Argentinian outlet TYC Sports claim to have made some of their words.
They claim that Rodriguez, 33, responded to Messi’s first comment by asking: “But why?”

The outlet then claims that Messi said: “Yes, yes. You said we were helped in the final.
“You talk a lot …”

Messi is supposed to have referred Argentina‘s 1-0 win over Colombia in last year Copa America final.
In March Rodriguez thought about the game: “Because of external factors, I think we could not have been champions.
“The referee had a major influence and gave us no or two penalties.”
The first Everton And Real Madrid Star, who now plays for Club Leon in Mexico, refused to feel attracted to his exchange with Messi after last night’s game.
Asked for the subject, the attacking midfielder said: “What happens on the field stays on the field.”
Thinking about the incident, a fan on social media joked: “Forget the Enzo Red Card. Messi just traumatized James Rodriguez on live television with his words.”
While a second wrote: “Yes … he said some hard words to James and it hurts me, because James seems like a really nice guy.”
Shortly after his exchange with Rodriguez, Messi was surprisingly replaced, despite the fact that 10-man Argentina needed a goal.
The move turned out to be an inspired person, because his replacement Exequel Palacios set up the equalizer of Thiago Almada just a few minutes later.
After the 1-1 draw, boss Scaloni revealed: “Leo would not come loose, but he finally came to the end.
“He told me it was better for him to get off, and so we decided to change him.
“The good thing we have always shown, with 10 men and without Messi, is that we kept watching, not giving up a ball. That makes us very satisfied.”
Just before he went, Messi had been involved in a fight with Daniel Munoz.
The first Barcelona Star seemed like an elbow to the Crystal Palace man.
