"It's a match in which the third place is fought for, which is not important, it's just to fulfil it," the Barcelona midfielder told a press conference.

"If we look at it coldly, there is not much desire to play for third place.

"We have to rest and try to get the best out of this cup. I'm sad for the group, but we're still more united than ever."

If a third-place play-off was disappointing for Chile, it was devastating for Argentina who lost to their fiercest rivals and hosts Brazil.

Another major tournament without a trophy has placed intense scrutiny on coach Lionel Scaloni.

However, he refused to discuss his future with a game still to play in the tournament.

"I don't think it's time to talk about that, it's not what I'm worried about right now," said the 41-year-old.
