Mexican boxer Saul “Canelo” Alvarez seemingly threatened Argentina soccer superstar Lionel Messi with violence for allegedly stomping on a Mexico jersey after the team’s World Cup win.
In a video of the Argentine side celebrating their first victory of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Messi can be seen slightly kicking the Mexico jersey as he attempted to remove his cleats.
Canelo Alvarez took to Twitter and say : “Did you see Messi wiping the floor with the Mexico jersey? May Messi pray to God that I don’t run into him somewhere!!”
“Just as I respect Argentina, you have to respect Mexico! I’m not talking about the whole country [Argentina]. I’m talking about Messi because of the s**t he did.”
Lionel Messi’s superb long-range strike helped revive Argentina’s flagging World Cup hopes as they claimed a crucial 2-0 win over Mexico at the Lusail Stadium.
