Popular Mexican YouTuber, Mike Maquina del Mal, has slammed Lionel Messi over the Argentine’s controversial celebration aimed at Mexican fans.
NEWSUNPLUG reported that the incident happened during Inter Miami’s club-friendly clash against Club America at the Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, January 18.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw with Lionel Messi also getting on the scoresheet.
However, the Herons went on to secure a narrow 3-2 win from the resultant penalty shootout to defeat the Liga MX outfit.
During the encounter, rival fans made themselves heard, taunting the legendary Argentine football star numerous times.
Messi, defiantly responded by holding up three fingers to the crowd on one occasion.
By doing this, the football icon showcased the number of World Cup trophies Argentina have won.
He then pointed out that Mexico have zero in the cabinet, much to the chagrin of Mexican streamer, Mike.
“What are you doing, ridiculous? What are you doing? Now he was playing a match against America, which does not represent all of Mexico, and he goes and tells the fans that he has three World Cups and we have zero,” he said via Goal.
“What does that have to do with it? You are playing with Inter Miami and not with the Argentine national team or the Mexican national team or anything. Everything is out of place.
“That little story of ‘Messi is so good’, ‘Messi is so generous’, ‘he is the best person in the world’… On days like today he shows his true colours and it is clear that he has something personal against Mexico.”
Lionel Messi is expected to feature for Inter Miami in their next pre-season friendly against Universitario on Wednesday, January 29.
