When Jamie Carragher criticized Lionel Messi, the Argentine should not have been significantly impressed.
It was at Sky Sports Friday Night Football that Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville discussed the eleven players they had on their teams of the year.
None of them found a place for Lionel Messi, despite the fact that Carragher is a big fan of the Argentine’s career.
– No Messi. We had the debate at the start of the season, Ronaldo or Messi? I was the Messi guy, he (Neville) was Ronaldo, but unfortunately, even though he is …
– Messi is not happy with you? Neville shoots in.
– He’s not happy with me at all, Carragher replies.

– He called me a donkey
The former Liverpool stopper said earlier this autumn that he did not think that Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi were very good buys for Manchester United and PSG respectively.
– I had a thing against Ronaldo at the beginning of the season. I did not think he was a brilliant signing for United and I used the example of Messi. I did not think Messi was a brilliant signing for PSG.
And that was exactly what should have made Messi pick up the phone.
– I received a private message on Instagram. From the main character himself. I do not want to show private messages, but he practically called me a donkey, says Carragher.
Believes Messi is the best of all time
However, the Sky Sports expert is not bitter about the message. He believes he himself was a donkey compared to the Argentine star.
– He watches Monday Night Football, so hopefully he watches Friday Night Football as well. Because Messi, I really love you. The best player ever, and compared to you, I was a donkey. I accept that. But you do not get on this team.

Instead, it is Kylian Mbappé, Robert Lewandowski and Mohamed Salah who take the top three places in Carragher’s team.
– You have not played well enough, even though you won the Copa America this summer. It’s not enough to leave my husband, Mo Salah, out.
Carragher’s team of the year also includes Marco Veratti, Kevin de Bruyne, N’Golo Kanté, Leonardo Spinazzola, Georgio Chiellini, Ruben Dias, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
