Lionel Messi Accused of Disrespecting Mexico, Canelo Álvarez Sends Warning

Lionel Messi Accused of Disrespecting Mexico, Canelo Álvarez Sends Warning

Shortly after Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Mexico at the 2022 World Cup, Mexican professional boxer Canelo Álvarez issued a warning to Lionel Messi after the soccer star was accused of disrespecting Mexico. In a video that has been circulating on social media, Messi appears to kick a Mexico jersey on the floor as the rest of the Argentina team celebrates in their locker room.

Referencing the video, Álvarez took to Twitter to offer a series of pointed messages toward Messi. “Did you see Messi cleaning the floor with our shirt and flag????,” tweeted Álvarez. “He better pray to God that I don’t find him!! Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico!” Adding, “I’m not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bullshit that Messi pulled.”

Lionel Messi has not responded to Canelo Álvarez, but the Argentinian player’s former teammates have spoken up to try to resole the issue with the boxing champion. Sergio Aguero tweeted, “Mr. Canelo, don’t look for excuses or problems, surely you don’t know about football and what happens in a changing room. The shirts are always on the floor after games have finished due to sweat and then if you look properly, he makes the movement to remove his boot and accidentally hits it.”
