Andy Murray was on the top of his banter game on social media once again after Lionel Messi led Argentina to victory last night
Andy Murray couldn’t hold himself from taking a dig at Piers Morgan after Lionel Messi secured a thrilling victory for Argentina against the Netherlands in Qatar. Earlier during the match, Morgan had tweeted: “Missi”, clearly trolling Messi for missing goal-scoring opportunities. However, Murray had the last laugh after Messi converted two spot kicks to help Argentina qualify for the Semi-finals of the World Cup.
Piers Morgan is known to be a huge Ronaldo fan and criticises Messi at every opportunity. On the other hand, Murray is a big fan of the Argentine superstar. Messi led from the front yet again last night to secure a crucial victory for Argentina and keep his side alive in the World Cup. Murray thoroughly enjoyed the match and was elated at Argentina’s victory. “Messiah more like”, he tweeted after the match.
