Mexican boxer Saul 'Canelo' Álvarez has apologized to Lionel Messi, who he previously accused of disrespecting Mexico.
Mexican boxer Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez has apologized to Lionel Messi, who he previously accused of disrespecting Mexico. Álvarez apologized on social media, writing on Wednesday: “These last few days I got carried away with the passion and the love I feel for my country and I made comments that were out of order so I want to apologize to Messi and the people of Argentina. “Every day we learn something new and this time it was me who did.
The Argentinean Football Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a comment to CNN, Marcelo Méndez, Messi’s representative, said: “It’s not a kick to the jersey or anything like that as everyone can see on the footage. “I believe there’s literally no one who can even question once Leo’s fair play through his career. He’s one of the most honest footballers ever, never cheats, always respects rivals … I reckon this debate doesn’t make any sense.
