If you hang out on social media after Champions League matches, you’ve probably already seen clips from Golazo, the CBS Sports show. We can see Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richard on set, with lots of laughs, analysis, and interviews with interesting proximity with certain football stars.
Fun football, in a way, but there is one player who doesn’t want to join this party: Lionel Messi. The 2022 world champion had nevertheless received an invitation for this week’s show, relocated to Miami. But the Argentinian declined, and the show’s presenter, Kate Abdo, explained why: “Do you know what the official response was? Apparently Lionel Messi won’t do any TV show that Jamie Carragher is a part of. »
A priori, Messi has had a grudge against the former Liverpool defender since January 2022. Carragher revealed on air that he had received a private message from the eight-time Ballon d’Or via social networks, this one treating “donkey”. In September 2023, Carragher returned to this episode. “I said that Paris Saint-Germain could not win the Champions League with Messi, Mbappé and Neymar playing together. I was right once again,” summed up the former England international, to drive the point home.
