Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has revealed he received an Instagram DM from PSG star Lionel Messi calling him a "donkey".
During Friday Night Football ahead of the match of Watford vs Norwich, Carragher and punditry partner Gary Neville were discussing whether the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner will make it their EA Sports FIFA team of the year for 2021.
Carragher said: "No, no Messi [in my team]. I mean we had that debate at the start of the season, Ronaldo or Messi. I was the Messi man, he [Neville] was Ronaldo but there’s no place in either team for them."
"No he's not happy with me at all,” Carragher added.
That comment prompted presenter Dave Jones to ask: "Why?"
"I didn’t think Messi's a great signing for PSG," Carragher explained.
Carragher continued saying he got a got a private message on Instagram, “from the man himself.”
"I will not be showing private messages but he basically called me a donkey."
Talking about the Team of the year, Carragher said "You [Leo Messi] haven't played well enough, even if you did win the Copa America in the summer. It's not enough to leave my man Mo Salah out the team."
