This actually took place after Argentina's win against Jamaica in the Copa America tournament.

Brown, who had been substituted near the end of the match , picked up his mobile phone as soon as the final whistle went and ran onto the pitch to find Messi.
The striker stated   therefore in defence of the act despite he's country's loss;  

"I had thought about it before the match so that's why I took (the phone) to the bench. As soon as (the match) finished, I took the picture," Brown said.  
"Messi is the best in the world, a star, and that's a photo I'll have as a souvenir all my life."
Messi therefore laughed as he recalled what had happened.
"He surprised me. On top of that I was annoyed about how the match had gone despite our win ... but when I saw the phone I realized what was going on. It's really nice when a colleague asks me for that," Messi said.
