As the Copa America final brought ecstasy to Lionel Messi's Argentina, it also resulted in agony for Neymar's Brazil.

After the final whistle signalled the end of the match, which Argentina won 1-0, the newly-crowned champions ran towards Messi, lifted him up and started to celebrate. While the celebrations began for Argentina, Neymar was down on his haunches and in tears.

The Brazilian forward was consoled by his teammates, manager and support staff. But the person who came to console Neymar was Messi, the man of the moment. He came around and gave a long hug to Neymar so that he could gather his emotions. The duo was together at Barcelona for four years before Neymar moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
