In Science and Space: In one corner, Saul “Canelo” Álvarez. On the other hand, Lionel Messi.
The Mexican boxer wrote on Twitter that Messi was “cleaning the floor” with a Mexico shirt. He said it was the Argentine star’s disrespectful attitude towards the Mexicans. “He’d better ask God not to see me,” Canelo wrote on Twitter.
The Argentina star may have gotten into trouble with the wrong person after he moved the Mexico national team jersey with his foot as he celebrated the team’s well-deserved World Cup win over Mexico on Saturday.
Messi was taking off his right shoe when he – seemingly unintentionally – moved the Mexico shirt he had swapped with a Mexican player after Argentina’s 2-0 win. The shirt lay on the floor as the Argentine celebrated in the dressing room.
Messi, 35, is trying to win his first World Cup with Argentina. The victory over Mexico helped the Argentines win the right to the round of 16.
