Jamie Carragher hilariously poked fun at Gary Neville after the former Manchester United defender claimed “players don’t fear Lionel Messi anymore” before the Argentine superstar inspired his nation to victory over Mexico.
Coming off a stunning loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening game, the South Americans would have been knocked 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 team to second place in the Group C. .
This prompted 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”.

Neville and our former No. 23 have always had a love-hate relationship ever since they started a famous partnership as pundits on Monday Night Football.
The former United man has also drawn criticism for turning to the Gulf Nation to complete expert work despite previously raising concerns over the decision to allow Qatar to host the tournament.
