Multiple world boxing champions and proud Mexican Canelo Alvarez has sensationally threatened Argentinian football superstar Lionel Messi for apparently disrespecting his country’s flag. Messi scored for Argentina in their vital 2-0 win over Mexico on Sunday to keep his nation’s World Cup dream alive, but it was a vision of the Paris Saint-Germain forward and his teammates celebrating in their change room that got Alvarez’s blood up. Messi sang in joy and kicked his boots off. However, it seems he kicked a Mexican jersey or flag that was on the floor and the boxer isn’t taking it lightly with Messi for disrespecting his country.
Alvarez said: “Did you guys see Messi cleaning the floor with our jersey and flag? He better pray to God that I don’t find him. Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico! I’m not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bulls**t that Messi did.
Argentinian fans were left stunned by the outburst. Fans said: He’s [Alvarez] just looking for attention since he’s no longer relevant. Honestly i never heard of him till now,’ one fan posted.
Another replied: He clearly taking off his shoes,’ .
Another fan added: .’All the punches Canelo took in his career are finally catching up to his brain. It’s not working anymore,’
Even Mexican supporters were finding it difficult to back Alvarez’s claims, with most agreeing the Argentinian star was simply taking off his boots after the game.
‘They want to break [his] balls and take everything out of context, they are in the locker room celebrating and they are taking off their boots. Messi is the most humble and never denigrated anyone,’ one fan posted.
