Despite Calling Jamie Carragher ‘Donkey’, Lionel Messi Boosts Liverpool Legend’s Million Dollar Charity Target

Jamie Carragher is gearing up for one of his biggest nights on the calendar. The Liverpool legend is set to host his third annual charity gala for his Football for Change charity. The Englishman has received a massive boost in his efforts as Inter Miami star Lionel Messi has stepped up and made a notable donation to the event. La Pulga’s actions could be a surprise, considering his choice of words for Carragher in their latest interaction.

The Liverpool icon, during one of his appearances on CBS, touched down on a message he received from Lionel Messi. Carragher’s fellow pundits did not miss the opportunity to poke fun at the outspoken spouse. However, it seems like the two have buried the hatchet.

Lionel Messi makes notable contribution to charity

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher is set to host his upcoming charity gala this Saturday. Carragher founded the Football for Change charity alongside English stars Trent Alexander Arnold, Conor Coady, and Jude Bellingham in 2021. Since its foundation, the gala has become one of the most notable charity events across England. Last year, the event raised over $435,000 during the one-night gala.

According to Liverpool Echo, Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has made a heartwarming gesture towards Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher’s Football For Change charity. The player has donated a once-in-a-lifetime meet-and-greet for the exclusive auction. The privileged auction is one of the key attractions in the gala.

Apart from Messi, Inter Miami owner David Beckham also contributed to the gala. The Englishman has donated a tour of his Inter-Miami football club. England star Jack Grealish has also stepped forward for the cause, donating a VIP Manchester City experience with Jack Grealish.

Carragher will surely appreciate La Pulga’s actions after his recent actions. During one of his appearances on CBS, the scouser revealed that the Argentine had a special choice of words for him while replying to one of his messages.

Jamie Carragher reveals an interesting message from La Pulga

Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher is a mainstay at CBS for their Champions League broadcast. Alongside Kate Abdo, Thierry Herny, and Micah Richards, the show is on everyone’s lips. Carragher, in a recent coverage from the show in September, revealed that he received a message from Lionel Messi.

Carragher stated he had dropped a message to La Pulga but received a reply in Spanish. “Yes. Is it Spanish that they speak, Argentinians? I’m just going to say the word he called me. I don’t understand a ‘burro’. What does that mean?”

Presenter Kate Abdo quickly helped the scouser by translating the word for him. Carragher had a smile on his face as he replied, “Donkey, thank you.” However, despite the banter, it seems like Messi and Carragher have mutual respect. La Pulga’s actions to support his charity gala will surely put a smile on the Liverpool icon’s face.
