The footage caused a bit of a stir on social media and eventually reached Alvarez, who has reacted furiously.

In a series of tweets, per the Daily Mail, Alvarez wrote: “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.”

Did Messi really disrespect the Mexico shirt / flag?

Considering Messi has caused so little controversy throughout his illustrious career, it’s hard to imagine that his intention was to disrespect Mexico.

Buzzing after Argentina’s win, it appears that he was simply trying to take off his boots and ended up kicking the Mexico shirt in the process, seemingly unintentionally.

Do you think that singular unintentional act by Messi deserves Canelo’s outburst and threat?… Share your thoughts with us in the comment section below.
