The recent soccer fever revolving around the FIFA World Cup 2022 has seen, pound-for-pound superstar, Canelo Alvarez, extending support to his home country, Mexico. However, his unhinged words after the Argentina vs Mexico match, especially his feud with football legend, Lionel Messi, had given rise to a lot of saucy soccer drama. And, it seems like Messi was not the only Argentinian footballer Alvarez turned his attention to. In fact, Sergio Aguero opened up about receiving a voice note from Alvarez.

Aguero, also known as Kun Aguero, is well known for his decade-long association with Manchester City, where he was the striker. Moreover, he had previously also played for Atletico Madrid.
Meanwhile, the recent soccer drama saw a rising Twitter beef between Alvarez and Messi. The Mexican boxer accused Messi of kicking the Mexican jersey during the post-victory celebration.
Señor canelo no busques excusas o problemas , seguramente no sabes de fútbol y que pasa en un vestuario . Las camisetas siempre después que se terminan los partidos están en el piso por el sudor y después si ves bien hace el movimiento para sacarse el botín y sin querer le da . https://t.co/zfftTXH3JB

Aguero, on the other hand, tried to dissipate the situation, by citing Alvarez’s obliviousness, “The shirts are always on the floor after games due to sweat. And then if you see well, he makes the movement to remove the boot and accidentally hits it.”
