Messi breaks the silence and comments on hitting the Mexico shirt in the dressing room

Al-Marsad newspaper: Paris Saint-Germain’s French striker Lionel Messi broke his silence for the first time since the incident, “the Argentine star stepped on the Mexican national team shirt”, in the dressing room.

Messi said, during the statements reported by the Mexican newspaper “Record”, “What happened was a misunderstanding, and anyone who knows me knows that I don’t underestimate my respect for anyone.”

He added, “I don’t have to apologize, because I haven’t disrespected the people of Mexico, the team or anyone else.”

During the Argentine stars’ celebration of their victory over Mexico inside the dressing room, Messi appeared kicking Mexico’s shirt with his foot, then standing on it with his feet while dancing with the rest of the players, in one scene which some considered an insult to the Mexico national team.

Messi led his country to a 2-0 victory over Poland on Wednesday night, despite missing a penalty.
