Following Sky Sports’ latest edition of ‘Monday Night Football’, which sees Everton host Burnley, footballing punditry duo Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher were spotted arguing over world-class superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
In light of a stunning summer transfer window that has seen both attackers make incredible switches, with Messi joining PSG and Ronaldo re-signing for Manchester United, both former pros were squabbling over which player has a better impact.
Following the pair’s debate, which did get quite heated in parts, Neville appeared to suggest Ronaldo is the best player to ever grace a football pitch but then struggled to explain why he thinks his old club side will not lift this season’s Premier League title.
