Piers Morgan and Gary Lineker in fresh Twitter row over qualities of Lionel Messi as he fires Argentina to World Cup quarter-finals

Gary Lineker and Piers Morgan are embroiled in a Twitter spat over what seems to be an age-old debate which continues to split football fans all over the world.

Lionel Messi lit up Argentina's fixture against Australia on Saturday night as he led his side to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. Regarded by many as the greatest footballer in history, Messi is aiming to win football's biggest prize for the first time at the age of 35.

Another man vying to do the same is Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, except he's two years older at 37. Many expect this tournament to be the last chance for both to win a World Cup and Messi in particular has been heaped with praise for his performances so far, which have seen him score three times in four games.
