Former Argentina fitness coach Elvio Paolorosso has spoken of Barcelona star Leo Messi's breakdown after the 2016 Copa America final defeat to Chile.

Messi missed his spot-kick, after which he announced he was retiring from international football.

Paolorosso recalled: "The dressing room after the Copa America was a very painful place, but the worst part of it came later.

"At 2 in the morning, more or less, I went to the boot room and I found Leo, alone, absolutely alone, crying like a little boy who's lost his mother. He was lying there, inconsolable.

"I hugged him and we cried for a while together."
