The game between Argentina and Mexico was not quite calm during it as Tata Martino's players were aggressive before losing 2:0 to the South American champions.
Now, after Leo Messi starred with a goal and an assist for Enso Fernandez in Albiceleste's first victory in Qatar, the flea finds himself in the eye of the storm because of one moment of the celebrations.
A video was circulated on social media in which Messi is seen allegedly kicking a Mexico national team shirt during the celebrations of the Argentina players in the dressing room.

The local media claimed that it was a misunderstanding because in the video itself, number 10 is actually sitting in the dressing room and lightly kicking the shirt that is lying on the floor, but this did not prevent the Mexican boxer, Saul Canelo Alvarez, from opening the front against the big star.
"Did you see Messi wiping the floor with our shirt?" tweeted the angry boxer.
In another tweet, he wrote: "Shamsi will pray to God that I won't find him."
Que le pida a Dios que no me lo encuentre!!
👊🏻👊🏻🤬🔥

His followers tried to explain the meaning of the matter, but Canelo didn't really relent and answered them: "Just as I respect Argentina, you have to respect Mexico. I'm not talking about the country, but about him."
