Jamie Carragher has hilariously mocked Gary Neville after the former Manchester United defender claimed ‘players aren’t fearful of Lionel Messi anymore’ before the Argentina superstar inspired his nation to victory over Mexico.
Following a shock defeat to Saudi Arabia in their opening game, the South American’s would’ve been dumped out of the tournament had they lost to the Mexicans but the PSG man registered a goal and an assist to lift Lionel Scaloni’s side upto second in Group C.
This led the ex-Red to post a response to his Sky Sports colleague’s comment, tweeting: “My mate @GNev2 is having as bad a tournament as Infantino! #WorldcupQatar2022.”

The former United man has also received criticism for heading to the Gulf Nation to complete punditry work despite previously voicing his concern at the decision to allow Qatar to host the tournament.
