It has been revealed that Inter Miami superstar Messi is refusing to appear on the American television network due to their ties with Carragher. The ex-England international has previously admitted to being called a “donkey” by the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.
While there is no sign of the pair patching up their differences, CBS Sports have lined up a doppelganger to deliver a Christmas message to Carragher. The lookalike said on Wednesday night: “This is a message for Jamie. As it is the season of goodwill, no one should be alone at Christmas. I have decided that you should Never Walk Alone. Here’s my Christmas gift to you…” The video then cuts to an image of a donkey.
Carragher was able to laugh along with the jokes being aimed in his direction, with the former Liverpool defender seeing the funny side of a long-running feud that he never intended to spark.
