GARY NEVILLE hit back at Jamie Carragher in hilarious fashion after his pundit pal mocked him for a comment about Lionel Messi.
The pair often jokingly go back and forth at each other on Twitter.
Liverpool legend Carragher started this particular exchange, highlighting a comment from Neville saying: "Players aren't fearful of Lionel Messi anymore."
Neville made the bold claim on ITV during half-time of Argentina's clash against Mexico on Saturday.
With the game 0-0 at the break, Messi then scored and provided an assist in the second half to lead Argentina to a crucial 2-0 victory.
And Carragher wrote: "My mate @GNev2 is having as bad a tournament as [Gianni] Infantino! #WorldcupQatar2022."
Fifa president Gianni Infantino came under fire on the eve of the World Cup after an astonishing attack on the “racist” and “hypocritical” West for daring to criticise hosts Qatar.
Fifa chiefs also warned team captains planning on wearing a OneLove armband that they would be shown a yellow card for doing so.
But Neville fired back at Carragher with a hilarious response.
He hit back: "Better one than you back home with no one to work for!"
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
Carragher is watching the World Cup from the sofa while Neville is working for both ITV and the Qatari-owned beIN Sports.
The Manchester United legend has caused some controversy by signing up to provide his expertise for beIN.
Neville was critical of living conditions for World Cup workers during a trip to Qatar before the start of the tournament.
But he vowed to highlight human rights issues while working for the Qatari-owned company.
