Argentina got crashed out of the Copa America 2019 earlier today at the Mineirão as the team lost to Brazil 2-0. Lionel Messi hardly contributed to the game and was obviously in the eye of the storm as the team crashed out of the tournament. Needless to say that Cristiano Ronaldo fans grabbed this opportunity with both hands and trolled the Argentine for his lack of contribution and also the fact Lionel Messi does not have any international trophies in his kitty. Team Brazil dominated the game right from the start as Gabriel Jesus scored the first goal in the 19th minute and in the second half it was Roberto Firmino who netted another one.

Team Argentina could not do much after the match referee did not use VAR throughout the game. Sergio Aguero was attacked off the ball by Dani Alves but the referee did not adjudge it as penalty nor did he refer to VAR. With this, Brazil sealed a spot in the semifinals of the Copa America 2019. Naturally, Messi was at the receiving end and most of the tweets were about how CR7 clinched a couple of international trophies Euro 2016 and the UEFA Nations League recently – while the Barcelona legend is still trophy-less on the international stage.
Check out a few tweets below:

This netizen seems to be really upset.
Don't ever tell me Lionel Messi is the GOAT ever again. Dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League and International Football, but he can be the GOAT of La Liga if he wants. Must be fun scoring braces against Huesca and Getafe every weekend.

Last one.
Lionel Messi should quit Argentina. The golden generation underperformed yet again.
Cristiano Ronaldo won 2 trophies with players you forget which teams they play for

However, after the loss against Brazil, Messi said that he is in no mood to hang up his boots as yet. “F I can still help in any way, I will continue to do so. I feel really good in this group," said the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. The next semi-final will be played tomorrow at Arena do Grêmio between Chile and Peru.
