<p>In the video, Messi was dancing and chanting shirtless. The video also appeared to show the 35-year-old forward seemingly touching a Mexican jersey with his foot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The jersey could have been Andres Guardado as Argentina captain Messi had apparently swapped shirts with his Mexico counterpart. As per Alvarez, Messi had "insulted" Mexico.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But a number of fans came in Messi's support as they pointed out that the dressing&nbsp;room video did not show Messi cleaning anything, and the Mexican flag also can't be seen.&nbsp;</p>
