Messi scored the only goal of the game in the 1-0 win over Tite’s men and attracted headlines for telling the Brazil boss to shut up during the game.
Thiago Silva also criticised Messi after the match, as Brazil slumped to their fifth game in a row without a win.
Meanwhile, Argentina are on a good run and will be hoping to maintain that form against Uruguay.
The match should see Messi come up against Luis Suarez, while Barca will just be hoping both players return home unscathed ahead of some important fixtures.
