Leo Messi play with Argentina earlier this afternoon Netherlands in the quarterfinals of Qatar World Cup (20 hours). All attention is focused on the former Barcelona player, leader of an ‘albiceleste’ team that dreams of this title. But it’s not just in sports that the striker has a monopoly on covers these days. The ‘flea’ was heavily criticized for his behavior in the locker room after being eliminated Mexico.
The former Barça player, now at PSG, gave a soft kick to a Mexican team shirt (by Andrés Guardado) lying on the ground, as if pushing it away. And that brought controversy and criticism, among others, to boxer Canelo Álvarez. But his subsequent clarifications were useless.
The truth is that in Mexico -according to the English ‘Mirror’- they want to declare him ‘persona non grata’ for an act they consider total contempt. Influential politician and transgender activist María Clemente García Moreno filed a motion to officially condemn Messi.
The document says the following: “The Chamber of Deputies of the Honorable Congress of the Union respectfully urges the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue the corresponding Declaration to declare the Argentine citizen and Spanish national, Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccitini, as persona non grata within the territory of the United Mexican States ., for his open contempt and lack of respect for Mexico during the World Cup of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) on Saturday, November 26, 202two”.
