Messi’s Copa America Golden Ball award hastily removed after star rejects such trivialities (Video)

With the little Argentine amassing an obscene amount of awards already in glittering career so far, it’s fair to say the man with magic in his boots has grown accustomed to winning.

After his side succumbed to Copa America defeat in the tournaments finale, courtesy of the cheekiest of Alexis Sanchez penalties, Messi was in no mood to celebrate anything but first prize.

Being the competitions best player, the Golden boot award was due to be presented to the Barcelona star. However footage has been unveiled of the trophy awkwardly being taken away from its podium place, after Messi’s refusal to smile awkwardly on stage was passed to tournament organisers.
