The Mexican who betrayed El Tri and preferred to help Lionel Messi before the final in Qatar

Argentina's national team is already among the top four teams in the world. The team has established itself as one of the great candidates to win the World Cup. However, in their journey to the semifinals they have had some controversy surrounding their star player and captain, Lionel Messi.

Since a video was leaked showing Messi allegedly kicking the Mexican national team's jersey, the criticism has not ceased for the Argentinean star, while others have also defended him to the hilt. Now, among one of his greatest defenders is a Mexican player who was even outclassed when he faced him.

Andres Guardado stated that Lionel Messi never had any intention of kicking the Tri jersey and that it is something common in the locker room. He also assured that he is one of the best in the world. Guardado's performance against Argentina was far from what was expected and the Mexican had to come off in the second half.

Will Guardado not continue in El Tri?

The player has not made a statement after the elimination from the 2022 World Cup, however, before traveling, in an interview with Rondo Magazine, the player set a goal to reach Qatar 2022 and then see if he felt fit to continue, a scenario that he does not see as very viable for 2026.
