@alwaysLearning21 It means "What are you looking at, idiot?" in Argentinian Spanish. In Castilian Spanish, we wouldn't add the accent mark to the verb, so it would be "¿Qué miras, bobo?".

Messi tells it exactly as like a low class Buenos Aires young person says it (although he's not from Buenos Aires (or low class for that matter), but Rosario, and I don't know how they speak there):
"¿Qué mirá, bobo?"
The closest translation is "What are you looking at, dumb?"
Note that "dumb" is just as insulting as "idiot" in current low class Buenos Aires lexicon (maybe someone can clarify its weight in Rosarian), but it's used in a friendly manner among the higher classes.
It's very important to notice the missing "S" in the word "Mirás", as lower classes don't pronounce the "S" if it's the last letter of a word.
