FOOTBALL fans hailed Lionel Messi for "ending the greatest rivalry in history" after Brazilian supporters chanted his name before their clash with Argentina.<\/p>\n

Messi's world champions beat their South American counterparts 1-0 at the Maracana on Tuesday as Nicolas Otamendi's goal handed them a huge victory.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But the World Cup qualifier was marred by chaos as riot police were seen striking Argentinian fans inside the stadium.<\/p>\n

Yet despite the manic scenes, there was also a section of the Brazilian faithful who welcomed Argentina's captain with open arms.<\/p>\n

As he warmed up ahead of the game, the home supporters began singing Messi's name as he walked towards the corner of the pitch.<\/p>\n

And the Barcelona legend, 36, acknowledged the sentiment by waving at them.<\/p>\n

The moment showed that Messi has somewhat transcended the Brazil-Argentina rivalry as a result of his legendary status.<\/p>\n

And fans on social media were quick to hail the interaction.<\/p>\n

One said: "Is that how they refer to the end of the greatest rivalry in history? What's next, everyone singing We Are the World?"<\/p>\n

Another added: "This is too beautiful. How many athletes could say that they transcended nationalities and shirt colours?"<\/p>\n

A third replied: "Lionel Messi effect wherever he goes. Genius, unique \ud83d\ude0d."<\/p>\n

While a fourth responded: "Messi is the greatest in history. Exemplary sportsmanship. Anyone who lacks respect for him has no character. Applause from the rival is the minimum."<\/p>\n

Argentina's win over Brazil leaves them top of the table in South American qualifying with five wins from six.<\/p>\n

Brazil are down in sixth having lost their last three – with the previous two defeats coming against Uruguay and Colombia.<\/p>\n

Messi, who earned his 180th cap for Argentina on Tuesday, has 106 goals for his country.<\/p>\n

He is looking to lead his team out as World Cup winners at the Copa America in the USA next summer.<\/p>\n
