Gary Lineker and Piers Morgan did not hold back on Twitter as the duo went head-to-head over Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The debate was sparked when Lineker took objection to comments made by Sir Alex Ferguson suggesting that Messi could only perform at his best at Barcelona, while Ronaldo would score goals for anyone he played for. The Scot even cited clubs like Millwall, QPR and Doncaster Rovers as an example.
Lineker wrote: "This is nonsensical. I know we don’t tend to look beyond these shores very much, and I’m sure Sir Alex is being supportive of one of his own, but even as recently as this summer, Messi almost single-handedly won the Copa America for Argentina. They’re both greats."
