GARY NEVILLE hit back at Jamie Carragher in hilarious fashion after his pundit pal mocked him for a comment about Lionel Messi.
The pair often jokingly go back and forth at each other on Twitter.
Liverpool legend Carragher started this particular exchange, highlighting a comment from Neville saying: “Players aren’t fearful of Lionel Messi anymore.”
Neville made the bold claim on ITV during half-time of Argentina’s clash against Mexico on Saturday.
With the game 0-0 at the break, Messi then scored and provided an assist in the second half to lead Argentina to a crucial 2-0 victory.
And Carragher wrote: “My mate @GNev2 is having as bad a tournament as [Gianni] Infantino! #WorldcupQatar2022.”
