Lionel Messi did not stand idly by in the face of the provocations he was subjected to by the fans of Mexican club America during a friendly match for Inter Miami on Sunday morning.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw between the two teams, and Messi scored the first goal for his team and then headed to the fans to respond to their attacks on him.
The flea pointed to the Mexican fans with 3 fingers, in reference to the three titles that Argentina has achieved in the World Cup tournaments.
After that, Messi pointed to the fans that their country has not achieved any title in the World Cup.

This quarrel comes as an extension of the bad relationship between Messi and the Mexican fans, which was also evident last year in the CONCACAF Champions League with Inter Miami.
The match between Inter Miami and Club America ended in a 2-2 draw, and then the American club won on penalties.
Coach Javier Mascherano’s squad began preparing for the new season, which is scheduled to start in early March.
