It wasn't a snub.
A strange incident happened before Argentina's 2-0 World Cup qualifier win Bolivia earlier this week.
The away side attempted to begin the customary pre-match handshakes, however Bolivia captain Alejandro Chumacero's offer of a handshake wasn't accepted by Argentina skipper Lionel Messi, who subsequently scored in the comfortable win.

On initial viewing, it looks like the Barcelona genius is rudely snubbing his counterpart, but Chumacero cleared up the incident, and revealed Messi had a legitimate reason not to shake hands.
‘The fourth official told me to go ahead and begin shaking hands," the midfielder
said.
"But the Argentine national anthem hadn't yet finished (so Messi couldn't shake my hand). It was the official’s fault, it's just one of those things."
