Rio Ferdinand has further stoked the flames of a brewing feud between himself and Jamie Carragher, with the help of Boris Becker.

Carragher's controversial comments over the Africa Cup of Nations, in which he played the tournament was not considered "major" in terms of helping a player, such as Mohamed Salah, win the Ballon d'Or.

"Yes, it doesn't get backed like the Euros investment-wise, but that doesn't mean you have to devalue it, it's a continent of huge power that contributes to European football massively."

Ferdinand was speaking on his podcast and shared the clip on Instagram, which prompted Carragher to hit back with: "I didn't say that you clown, stop playing to the gallery like you always do."

That's where former tennis great Becker gets involved.

Separate from the AFCON debate, Carragher was also quoted by German publication BILD by claiming there could be doubts over Vincent Kompany's appointment at Bayern and the expectations at the club.

Becker responded by dismissing Carragher's opinion, adding: "There haven’t been any questions regarding the appointment of Kompany ...

Jamie is NOT well informed at all."

Well, Ferdinand could not resist weighing back in by repling to Becker with: "Boris… he’s having a bad couple weeks.

Let him off [three laughing emojis]."
