'Mistakes happen a lot on Match of the Day... look after that': Ultra-defensive Jamie Carragher calls out Gary Lineker - who says he's 'picking fights' - over using auto-cue in spat over Sky's Messi stats

Jamie Carragher has become embroiled in a Twitter spat with Gary Lineker over an argument over Sky Sports' statistics about Lionel Messi.

Carragher and fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville dug into the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Messi debate on Monday Night Football, and unsurprisingly the duo disagreed in a fiery discussion.

While former Manchester United defender Neville championed Ronaldo's case as the greatest player ever, Carragher defended Messi's corner, with statistics of the duo's trophy-laden careers being brought up to help their arguments.

Match of the Day presenter Lineker however spotted Sky had forgotten to include Messi's Copa America trophy - which he helped Argentina win earlier this summer after beating Brazil - in the final.
