Due to a suspected Covid-19 protocol infringement involving the four Premier League players representing Argentina, police and Brazilian health authorities stormed the ground only minutes into the highly-anticipated match.

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur's Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso, as well as Aston Villa's Emi Martinez and Emi Buendia, neglected to declare their nationality upon entering Brazil.

Lionel Messi remarked to the referees in a passionate conversation when they rushed the pitch, according to Roy Nemer, an Argentina National Team reporter.

He reports that Messi burst out with ‘It’s an embarrassment’ before pointing out that the Argentina national team have been in Brazil for three days and ‘nothing happened’.
