Canelo Alvarez has put his feud with Lionel Messi to bed following Argentina's World Cup final win.
Argentina became world champions for the first time since 1986 on Sunday afternoon when they beat France on penalties in one of the greatest-ever World Cup finals. Messi put his side ahead early on and Argentina were two goals to the good at half-time, but a late fight back from France saw the game stretch into extra-time. It was still all square after 120 minutes, but missed penalties from Kingsley Coman and Aurelian Tchouameni saw Argentina's Gonzalo Montiel deliver the game-winning spot kick.
Alvarez, who traded words with Messi during the group stage of the competition, reacted to Argentina's win by tweeting: "Congratulations Argentina, they deserved it." The undisputed super-middleweight champion criticised Messi after a video appeared to show the Argentine forward kick a Mexico shirt following their group stage match, which Argentina won 2-0.
