Canelo Álvarez surrendered to Argentina after the meeting with Messi: ‘They deserved it’

He had no other Canelo Alvarez surrender to Lionel Messi and the Argentina national team, which became world champions at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Mexican boxer, who at the beginning of the World Cup made strong statements against the Argentine captain, who he even threatened by saying “I ask God not to cross him”, used his Twitter account to congratulate Argentina for the victory against France in the grand final.

“Congratulations Argentina, they deserved it”assured Canelo in his account, where he is followed by more than 2.4 million people.

Canelo’s harsh statements came after Mexico’s defeat by Argentina in the group stage. The boxer misinterpreted a video in which Messi dropped the Mexican shirt he had exchanged with Guardado. “Did you see Messi cleaning the floor with our shirt and flag????”Canelo wrote in the first of his tweets.

And then it was for more: “That I ask God not to find him!!”, fired, in a threatening tone. The text was accompanied by punch and anger emojis.

“Just like (I) respect Argentina, (he) must respect Mexico! I’m not talking about the country (Argentina) I’m talking about Messi because of his blowjob he gave,” Canelo insisted.

“It was a misunderstanding, Anyone who knows me knows that I never disrespect anyone, leaving the shirt there is part of a locker room. There is no more”was Messi’s word when he was consulted on this unexpected controversy.

Days later, given the strong criticisms received, Canelo apologized to the 10. “In recent days I have been overwhelmed by the passion and love I feel for my country and I have made inappropriate comments about what I want to apologize to Messi and to the Argentine people. Every day we learn something new and this time it was my turn,” he acknowledged.

And he added in another tweet: “I wish both teams much success in their games today and here we will continue to support Mexico until the end.”
