The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, and the Paris Saint-Germain player, sparked controversy on social media last Saturday, because of the way he celebrated the victory over Mexico in the second round of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Messi came out for the first time talking about his celebration of dancing on a shirt bearing the Mexican flag inside the dressing room, after beating Mexico with two unanswered goals.
According to what was published by the Mexican newspaper “Record”, about its conversation with Messi, he said: “What happened was a misunderstanding, and whoever knows me knows that I do not underestimate anyone’s respect, whatever the circumstances, so I do not have to apologize because I respect the people of Mexico.”
The Tango national team also rose to face Australia in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, in the match that is scheduled to be held at nine in the evening, tomorrow, Saturday.

It is noteworthy that the Mexican Canelo Alvarez, the world boxing champion, dated Lionel Messi because of his way of celebrating, as the Mexican boxer, through his Twitter account, criticized Messi’s celebration, saying: “I watched Messi cleaning the floor with a shirt and the flag of our country, Mexico.”
He threatened the world boxing champion that he would pursue him and beat him severely because he insulted the Mexican flag in the dressing room, as he said: “Messi, I will search for you until I find you, but you have to pray so that I do not find you.”
