CBS Sports Golazo Show host Kate Abdo has claimed that Argentine World Cup-winning captain Lionel Messi did not join the show because of Jamie Carragher.
The Merseysiders are currently missing out on Champions League football this season as they failed to finish top 4 last season. But that does not mean the competition will stop.

And Reds legend Jamie Carragher has been doing his job of analyzing the UCL games as a pundit at CBS Sports. However, his past actions has led to something a little controversial.
While speaking about the situation, CBS host Kate Abdo said,
“You know that we made an official invitation extended one to Inter Miami and we asked him to come on the show.
Do you know what the official response was from Inter Miami? Am I allowed to say this?
Apparently Lionel Messi will not be doing any television show that Jamie Carragher is a part of.”

To this information, most of the panel laughed while Thierry Henry was stunned. Carragher took it lightly and replied with a laugh,
“Hey, that’s a claim to fame of mine! Who would you rather have, Messi or me?
Do you think Messi is going to bring the energy to this show that we need?”
The Lionel Messi and Jamie Carragher controversy
The former LFC defender omitted the Argentinian from his best XI of 2021. Carragher also stated he didn’t feel his move to Paris Saint-Germain was a great signing. And his form had not been that great.
In January 2022, the Barcelona legend slid into the English pundit’s DMs where he called him a ‘donkey’. And this sparked the clash between these two.

But Carragher has stated that he believes Messi is the GOAT compared to Cristiano Ronaldo who is ‘not even close’. He stated,
“Ronaldo is nowhere near the level of Messi. Ronaldo is one of the greatest goal-scorers of all time.
Messi is the greatest player of all time. It’s not even close.”
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
