Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand threatens to walk off BBC live on air after Pablo Zabaleta's Man City jibe

Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand jokingly threatened to storm out of the BBC studio during Argentina's 2-0 win over Poland on Wednesday night, after former Manchester City player Pablo Zabaleta made a tongue-in-cheek remark over Sergio Aguero's infamous last-minute title-winning goal.

Argentina beat Poland 2-0 to confirm their spot at the top of Group C, while their European opposition had a nervous wait for the full-time whistle to blow in the other Group C match that evening, Saudi Arabia vs Mexico.

Goals from Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister and City's Julian Alvarez, meant that Poland were only going through on their disciplinary record as the 90 minutes drew to a close. It was then a nervous four-minute wait to see if Mexico could add one more goal to their already 2-0 lead over Saudi Arabia, as they looked to go through on a superior goal difference.
