Jamie Carragher has slammed LaLiga as a 'joke league' as he defended his decision to choose MLS star Lionel Messi over Real Madrid's Vinicius Jnr in his EA Sports FC 24 Team of the Year.
The former Liverpool defender debated the inclusion of Messi over Vinicius Jnr with his Sky Sports co-pundit Gary Neville, with the latter electing to choose the Real Madrid star in his XI.
Neville questioned whether Messi played enough matches in 2023 for Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami to make his squad.
