Watch: Messi receives yellow card after obvious flop

Even if your name is Lionel Messi and you're considered the best player on the planet, a dive is still a yellow card offense.

That's the argument a throng of Chile players made to referee Heber Lopes after the Argentina captain fell over a little too easily in the box during Sunday's Copa America Centenario final.

The official quickly pulled Messi over, explained the egregious nature of his flop, and flashed a yellow card.

Messi's subsequent pleading was met with a swift "por favor" and that was that.
