Messi returned from a three-month international ban to lead Argentina past Brazil 1-0 thanks to his 13th-minute goal in Riyadh on Friday.
Argentina star Messi missed Argentina's previous four matches due to a suspension for accusing CONMEBOL of favouring hosts Brazil 바카라“ who won their semi-final meeting 바카라“ at the Copa America and he was in the thick of the action against Tite's Selecao.
Messi and Tite exchanged words in the opening half, with the Barcelona superstar seen putting his fingers to his lips as the Brazil boss complained to the referee.
"I complained because he [Messi] should have been shown a yellow card and he told me to shut my mouth and I told him to shut his mouth," Tite said. "And that was it."
Tite added: "I don't want to answer anymore on it. You need a strong referee because he'll swallow you바카라¦ It should have been a card, I was right to complain."
Messi's goal condemned Brazil 바카라“ who have struggled since lifting the Copa America trophy 바카라“ to their fifth consecutive match without victory.
