Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has taken to Twitter to tease his Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville about his disastrous spell as Valencia manager.
In the face of taunts from Barcelona fans on social media, Neville was quick to point out that he had a 35% win percentage in charge of the Spanish side, only for Carragher to point out his record was somewhat bolstered by his Copa Del Rey run.
Blaugrana fans were reacting to Neville's perhaps inflammatory comments that Barca star Frenkie de Jong should take legal action against the club for the way he has been treated, in particular deferred wage payments of £17million.
Barca fan account Barca Worldwide poked fun at Neville's record, saying: 'Gary Neville Coached VALENCIA for just 14 games! He lost all 14.'
Neville then responded by pointing out the inaccuracy in their claim, saying: 'Barcelona fans are very annoyed but this is slander!
'My record in Valencia Played 28 Won 10 Draw 7 Lost 11.
'@Carra 23 fyi 35% win record.'
The former Liverpool defender then added a graph of Neville's results as Valencia manager in each competition to his retort, replying: 'Thank god for the Copa del Rey!'
Gary Neville's spell in charge of Valencia in 2015-16 is now infamous, after losing 11 out of 28 games with a squad boasting the likes of former Manchester City forward Alvaro Negredo, ex-Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi and Spanish international Paco Alcacer.
Barca fans were retorting to Neville's prior comments about de Jong - who has been heavily linked with a move away from the Catalan giants in recent weeks - and their response would indicate that they were not taken lightly.
Neville said: 'De Jong should consider legal action versus Barcelona and all players should be behind him!
'A club spending fortunes on new players whilst not paying the ones they have under contract their full money is immoral and a breach. FIFPRO should be all over bullying like this and stop it.'

Carragher should learn to always shut up when real men are talking. You failed yourself as a player, scored more on goals than real goals and above all a disappointment as a pundit

Carrager who is even scared to try coaching is mocking someone who failed. At least Neville had the spine to try and fail. What does Carrager have? I am sure he has a hole instead of balls between his legs.
