Lionel Messi and Diego Godin in perfect synchronisation

There was a bizarre moment in the Copa America match between Argentina and Uruguay last night, as Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin were filmed in perfect synchronisation in the moments after the final whistle.

As soon as the game ended, both players - the captains of their respective nations, incidentally - bent over, put their hands on their knees, and bowed their heads at exactly the same time.

Was this a glitch in the matrix? Proof that Messi is, in fact, an extraterrestrial? We’re open to all suggestions because it’s freaked us out a bit.

Argentina won the ill-tempered match 1-0, with the only goal of the game coming from Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero, 10 minutes into the second half.

Tata Martino’s side have taken four points from their opening two matches - they threw away a two-goal lead against Paraguay on Saturday - and are on course to qualify for the knockout rounds.
