Andy Murray fired a savage tweet at Piers Morgan after Lionel Messi and Argentina triumphed over France in the World Cup final on Sunday.
Morgan is close friends with Cristiano Ronaldo, who, alongside Messi, is widely acknowledged as one of the finest football players of his generation. Morgan, however, has repeatedly insisted that the Portuguese superstar is better than Messi - and he predicted that the defending champions would spoil the 35-year-old's final chance of winning the coveted trophy.
But Morgan's words came back to haunt him as Messi inspired his country to glory in his final World Cup match. His pre-match prediction came after Ronaldo and England were dumped out of the competition in the quarter-finals - and Murray was quick to rub salt into Morgan's wounds on social media.
