Sergio Aguero met with an expletive rebuke after attempting to pacify Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez’s anger towards Argentina team-mate and long-time friend Lionel Messi.

The Mexican world champion boxer was left furious after believing Messi to wipe his feet on a Mexican jersey following his side’s 2-0 win on Saturday evening in World Cup Group C.

Manchester City record goalscorer Aguero and Messi were room-mates when on the road with Argentina for the majority of their careers, with Messi now staying on his own in the absence of his friend, who retired last year.
