While Canelo wanted a fight with Messi, what Guardado said about Leo was surprising
The captain of the Mexican national team came to the defense of the Albiceleste's 10th player
Canelo Alvarez ignited the social networks after the match between Mexico and Argentina in the 2022 World Cup. The famous Mexican boxer lashed out at Lionel Messi for having, in his opinion, disrespected Mexico and its patriotic symbols, all because of a video posted on social networks and taken out of context.
In the video, Lionel Messi is seen celebrating Argentina's victory over Mexico and lightly and presumably unintentionally hitting a Mexican jersey that was on the floor. In fact, it was Messi's boot, not his own leg, that hit the shirt. However, in this situation, the boxer threatened the Argentine.

According to Canelo, the fact of having the Mexican jersey on the ground was already a sign of irreverence and disrespect towards Mexico. Therefore, he assured Messi that he should not bump into him in the street because he would hit him. Faced with this situation, the captain of the Mexican national team came out in defense of the famous Argentine soccer player.
What did Andres Guardado say about the incident?
Andres Guardado, captain of the Mexican national team, stated that the action performed by Lionel Messi was very unintentional and that it is something normal that happens in the dressing room, having the shirts on the floor, all to be washed afterwards. "It seems to me that Canelo has made a mistake, evidently he doesn't know anything and it's better not to give an opinion"; Guardado assured.
