Messi's family attacked
Family members of Lionel Messi who were in attendance Saturday for the 2015 Copa America final between Chile and Argentina were reportedly harassed by Chile supporters.
According to the report, some fans inside the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile, lobbed verbal insults toward Messi's family. One supporter also struck Rodrigo Messi, the four-time Ballon d'Or winner's older brother.
Members of Sergio Aguero's family were also targets for some of the more rabid Chile fans, but it doesn't appear they were involved in any physical altercation.
Chile went on to win the final 4-1 on penalties after the two countries were scoreless through extra time.
