This was after Argentina secured a 2-0 victory over Mexico in the 2022 FIFA world cup. The locker room celebration was reflective of the nation’s morale boost as they still have a chance to progress. However, Alvarez was having none of this as he took to Twitter and expressed his anger at the locker room celebration. ”
“Did you guys see Messi cleaning the floor with our jersey and flag? He better pray to God that I don’t find him. Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico! I’m not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bulls**t that Messi did.” Alvarez wrote on his Twitter.
