The Youtuber Mike Maquina del Mal has blasted Inter Miami's Lionel Messi for his controversial celebration against Club America in the preseason match at the Allegiant Stadium, on Saturday, January 18. The celebration was aimed at the Mexican fans.
What did Mike Maquina del Mal say about Lionel Messi?
The two sides met in an entertaining match that ended in a 2-2 draw and saw Lionel Messi get on the scoresheet. But, the Herons secured a 3-2 win during the penalty shootout which was enough to defeat the Liga MX outfit.
The rival fans made sure they taunted Messi each and every time they got a chance. But, when things got out of hand, Messi responded by holding three fingers toward the crowd to let them know the number of FIFA World Cups Argentina has won. It didn't end there because, after that, Messi pointed out zero to let the Mexican fans know that they have no World Cup trophies to their name.
The Youtuber Mike Maquina del Mal was not at all impressed by this and took a dig at Messi.
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. 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, del Mal said.
That little story of 'Messi is so good', 'Messi is so generous', 'he is the best person in the world', that his f*cking mother believes. On days like today he shows his true colours and it is clear that he has something personal against Mexico, del Mal added.
