Carragher had weighed in on Vincent Kompany's tenure at Bayern Munich after the German side squeezed past Celtic in the Champions League play-offs last week, after beating the Scottish champs 3-2 on aggregate.
Carragher, 47, spoke on Sky Sports after Liverpool's 2-0 win at Manchester City and appeared to suggest that playing at Afcon worked against Mo Salah's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or.
"And he's probably not playing in the major tournament as such, or maybe got a great chance of winning, I think it's either the Champions League or the major tournament.".
RIO Ferdinand fired more shots at Jamie Carragher after tennis icon Boris Becker blasted the Liverpool legend.
But that opinion brought him criticism from the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Micah Richards, and Ferdinand - the latter of which Carragher called a "clown" this week.
