Lionel Messi rejected an offer to appear on CBS Sports' Champions League broadcast in Miami on Wednesday night because Jamie Carragher was on the show, according to host Kate Abdo.
Carragher revealed last year that Messi sent him a private message on Instagram after he criticized his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, with the Argentina legend allegedly calling him a 'donkey'.
'I had a little pop at [Cristiano] Ronaldo earlier in the season, didn’t think it was a great signing for [Manchester] United, then I said the example of Messi, I didn’t think Messi's a great signing for PSG,' the former Liverpool defender said in January 2022.
