Lionel Messi is one of the most important soccer players in all of Major League Soccer. The captain of the Argentine national team is a player who enhances the image of soccer in the United States. Furthermore, Messi seems to be a player who shares a local rivalry with Mexican soccer. But William Yarbrough revealed that there isn't a direct problem with Liga MX.

William Yarbrough was only with Inter Miami for a few months this year. Although he didn't play for David Beckham's club, Yarbrough had the opportunity to share a locker room with Lionel Messi.

The 36-year-old veteran goalkeeper revealed that the Argentine captain doesn't hold any grudge against Mexican soccer. Yarbrough assured that Lionel Messi knows all the Liga MX clubs.

“He literally knows all the clubs, players, and matches; he really likes the Mexican League,” the former Inter Miami goalkeeper stated in a conversation with La Aficion.

Messi changes in anger

Over the last few years, Messi has shown some annoyance in matches against Mexican opponents. During Inter Miami's visit to Mexico, the Argentine has silenced stadiums with his performances. William Yarbrough explained that Messi only gets angry if provoked. "He defends himself if provoked, but he's not someone who holds grudges. He reacts in the heat of the moment, then it's over," added the former Liga MX goalkeeper. It's worth remembering that a controversy arose during the 2022 Qatar World Cup regarding a Mexican national team jersey. According to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Messi disrespected the colors of El Tri by dropping a jersey that remained on the ground. Mexico and Argentina haven't faced each other since that match. Is Messi angry?
