The Argentine star angered the wrong person after moving a Mexico National team shirt with his foot after their victory at the World Cup on Saturday. The Mexican boxer said on Twitter that Messi was «cleaning the floor» with the Mexican National team shirt and that it was disrespectful to Mexico.

«Pray God that he doesn’t find me,» Canelo tweeted. AP said Messi was removing his right shoe when he apparently inadvertently moved the jersey he had exchanged with a Mexican player after the 2-0 win.

«Mr. Canelo, don’t look for excuses or problems, surely you don’t know about football and what happens in a locker room,» he tweeted. «The shirts always, after the games are over, are on the floor due to sweat.» Former Spanish soccer player Cesc Fàbregas also defended Messi saying that it is normal for soccer players to leave their shirts on the floor before taking them to wash.

Messi, 35, is looking to win his first World Cup with Argentina. The victory over Mexico gives them a chance to advance to round 16. According to El Futbolero, Messi may be punished for the shirt incident, though it seems unintentional. Filed Under: Andrés Guardado sides with Messi
