The World Cup winner slipped in the Champions League semi-final first-leg against FC Barcelona, as Messi went past him to give his side a 2-0 advantage.
However, it seems Boateng has gotten over the embarrassing moment and can laugh about it now.
"It was funny when they said 'Messi put me to sleep' and I saw a meme of me falling into bed. That was really funny," he told Bleacher Report.
"I didn't really look at everything, but of course I laughed at myself when I saw it."
Boateng was recently in the USA to join Jay Z's agency, Roc Nation, and was also asked which Bayern Munich star has the worst taste in music – the answer probably won't surprise many.
"The worst taste in music? That's a good question! I would say Thomas Muller," he said, laughing.
"He listens to Bavarian stuff from Germany and I can't deal with it."
