There was no love lost between the ITV teammates

Stars like Micah Richards and Izzy Christiansen lined up for the BBC.

While Neville, Keane and Jill Scott were among those competing for bragging rights with ITV.

However, just because they were on the same side did not stop Neville and Keane from clashing.

The duo played together at Manchester United, winning numerous trophies including the 1999 Treble.

But there was little love lost between the pair as Keane barked at Neville from the sideline.

The latter lost out in a duel as the BBC scored a crucial goal, leaving him on the floor.

And Keane did not hold back as he launched into an X-rated rant at Neville.

The Irishman yelled: “Nev! F*****g get tighter!

“You show him the line, you’ve got to stop the shot.”

With the final result not revealed publicly, ITV eventually appeared to claim bragging rights with a cheeky message to the BBC on Instagram.

A comment in one post read: “Better luck next time guys.”

The game was certainly full of drama, with Richards proving his worth between the sticks.

The CBS Sports ace managed to save a penalty from Scott after being goaded by Neville.

However, Richards was unable to cling onto the ball.

And Keane rushed in to poke the ball home in what may have been the match-winning goal.

Richards also gave a less-than-inspiring pre-match talk to teammates, saying: “Today we know they’re better than us.

“But it doesn’t matter, it’s all about what you’ve got inside.

“I want you to look at the person to your left, now to the right. This is the spirit.

“It’s all about trust, togetherness and leadership.”

Teammate Christiansen then said: “There’s a lot of history in Berlin, but we f*****g create our own.”

This prompted Richards to explode in joy, shouting: “Exactly! Come on!”
