The social media post of this exchange garnered over 791,000 reactions. Liam Gallagher, known for his sometimes controversial personality, later attempted to de-escalate the situation. He reiterated his affection for Mexico, where both Oasis and his solo project have a strong following. "Everytime I’ve been to Mexico everyone’s been lovely, I don’t get all this bad attitude nonsense, it’ll be fine," Gallagher tweeted.
This is not the first time Maná has been in the spotlight during the 2026 World Cup. The band also performed at the tournament's opening on June 11, singing their hit song "Oye, mi amor." Olvera was also seen wearing another t-shirt during rehearsals with the phrase "¿Y si sí?" (What if yes?), reflecting the anticipation of Mexicans for their team's potential progress in the tournament.
