Match of the Day host Gary Lineker compared to Piers Morgan in Qatar: "An all-time low"

Match of the Day host Gary Lineker suggested he could not “forgive” an error from an enthusiastic football fan after being mistaken for Piers Morgan.

The pair have developed somewhat of a rivalry over the past few years with their Twitter exchanges a regular feature of matchdays. They have been at the heart of a few arguments over recent years - the most recent being a discussion over whether Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi was better.

However, England icon Lineker got a little too close to comfort with Morgan over recent days having been approached by a supporter during a day off in Qatar. Whilst taking in Morocco’s quarter-final victory over Portugal, Lineker was approached by a keen-eyed football supporter - only to be left wishing he’d been left alone after he was mixed up with outspoken TV presenter Morgan.
