Jamie Carragher recounts how he received insulting DM from Lionel Messi

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Jamie Carragher revealed that Lionel Messi once referred to him as a ‘donkey’ in a furious text message.

This was in the wake of the explosive summer transfer window last year that saw Messi move to Paris Saint Germain and Cristiano securing a move back to Manchester United.

With discussion of the two players considered the best in football history, Carragher was not convinced of either signing and he made his sentiments public while on punditry duty.

The former Liverpool man was on duty once again on Friday, January 21 for the Watford vs Norwich game which Dean Smith’s men comfortably won 3-0.
