Liverpool hero Carragher: Why Messi called me 'donkey' | OneFootball

Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has revealed he's been dubbed a 'donkey' by Lionel Messi.

Carragher has revealed Barcelona great Messi called him a 'donkey' after he suggested the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner was not a smart signing for Paris Saint-Germain earlier this season.

The Argentine apparently didn't take kindly to the opinion and wasted no time in letting the Sky Sports pundit know his feelings.

"It was on Monday Night Football and I got a private message on Instagram," Carragher said on Friday Night Football after Watford's defeat by Norwich at Vicarage Road.

"From the man [Messi] himself. I will not be showing private messages but he basically called me a donkey."
