Phil Neville’s Saturday night chat with Joey Barton got just a bit weird

This Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi debate got weird.

Phil Neville nailed his colours to the Ronaldo mast on Saturday evening when a brace from the Portuguese went some way to guaranteeing that Real Madrid would successfully defend their Champions League crown. The below statement from the younger Neville brother was as defiant as it was divisive. Not everybody is Team CR7 and one man who is steadfastly of the belief that Messi is the superior player is Joey Barton, who issued a typically no-nonsense response to the former Manchester United and Everton man. Phil was enjoying the conversation. Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan offered his two cents. It was the Champions League final and Phil was enjoying himself. But then things took a turn for the unusual as one follower suggested that Neville show his admiration for Ronaldo in a rather unexpected manner.
