Jamie Carragher makes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo angry for different reasons

Jamie Carragher has now embarrassed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after infuriating both forwards after another clash.

Carragher has never shied away from expressing his views on the long-term rivals, including often choosing Messi over Ronaldo in debates about who is the greatest of all time. But the Liverpool legend somehow unnerved the Argentinian superstar and former Manchester United icon.

In CBS’ latest report on the Champions League, it was revealed that Inter Miami forward Messi had been invited to take part in the show, but turned it down due to one specific person.

Host Kate Abdo said: “You know we sent an official invitation to Inter Miami and invited him (Messi) to be on the show, do you know what the official response from Inter Miami was? Obviously, Lionel Messi West will not appear in any TV shows Jamie Carragher is involved in.”

This is not the first time the former Liverpool defender has clashed with the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. In September, he was asked if he had heard from Messi.

Amazingly, Carragher did, but he wasn’t sure what he said. Speaking to CBS, Carragher revealed: “Yes. Argentines, do they speak Spanish? I just want to say the word he called me, which I didn’t understand: ‘donkey’. What does that mean?” “

Unfortunately for Carragher, the multilingual Abdo was on hand to translate. She revealed that Messi’s message meant “donkey”.

Messi wasn’t the only one to clash with Carragher, with Ronaldo also giving the former Liverpool man the cold shoulder. Carragher is part of the Sky Sports broadcast team ahead of United’s clash with the Reds in August 2022.

Ronaldo welcomed former Manchester United stars Roy Keane and Gary Neville but cooled off Carragher. A few months later, a similar incident happened to his colleague Neville, with Carragher responding on Twitter: “Welcome to the Ronaldo club @GNev2.”

Despite being snubbed by Messi and Ronaldo, Carragher does seem to prefer one over the other. “It was never an argument. Ronaldo is nowhere near Messi’s level,” he said.

Carragher later added: “Ronaldo is one of the greatest strikers of all time, Messi is the greatest player of all time, they are far from each other. Ronaldo scored, Messi scored, they are An unbelievable player.”
