Called a stupid donkey by Messi? Carragher responded: It's an honor to be said by legend

On Sky Sports, former England star and famous football commentator Carragher voted his 2021 team of the year and spoke with Gary Neville about an interesting affair between himself and Messi.

In Carragher's Team of the Year, Salah, Lewandowski and Mbappe form a forward trident, while Messi is not among them. In response, Carragher said: "Messi is not in my squad, we debated this at the beginning of the season, right? Messi is still C Ronaldo, I support Messi, you support Ronaldo, but unfortunately, although he..."

Neville then said, "He doesn't like you, does he?" ”

Carragher replied, "No, he doesn't like me at all." I commented on Ronaldo on the show at the beginning of the season, and I thought it wasn't a good transfer for Manchester United, and then I used Messi as an example and thought that for Paris, he wasn't a very good signing either. I always tell the truth, you know, and then I just got a private message on social media..."

The host of the show asked, "Did Messi send it to you personally?" ”

Carragher said: "He sent it himself, I will not show the content of the private message, but the general meaning is that he thinks I am a stupid donkey!" ”

However, Carragher then added: "He watched that show at the time, and I hope he watched the show now." Messi, I absolutely love you very much, you are the best ever, compared to you, I am indeed a stupid donkey! I accept that, but I still don't think you should go to Paris, you didn't play well enough, even though you won the Copa America last summer, you weren't enough to squeeze Salah down in my best squad..."

After the show aired, Carragher also retweeted footage of the show on his personal social media, writing self-deprecatingly: "I am honored to be called a stupid donkey by a legend like Messi!" ”
