Canelo, 33, expressed his fury on social media shortly after the incident in Qatar, threatening: "He [Messi] better pray to God I never find him." In November 2022, Canelo took to social media to confess he "got carried away with the passion and love" for his nation. The boxing phenomenon wanted everyone to know the public's clamour on social media wasn't what provoked his rethink. Argentina's triumphant moment marked the country's first World Cup since the late Diego Maradona helped take his nation to the crown in 1986. In a twist of fate, Messi - who has since moved to Inter Miami in Major League Soccer - hinted he might not be done with World Cup football just yet.
