Ex-Newcastle United hero Faustino Asprilla has cranked up his war of words with former Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos after he accused Colombian players of only raising their game against his club.
Asprilla labelled Morelos 'unbearable' last week after his countryman got involved in an angry altercation with a fan when he was subbed off and appeared to invite him to a fight.
Morelos' Atletico Nacional team crashed to a defeat to Deportivo Cali and he wasn't happy after the game.
Morelos said: "Every team in Colombia always play their cup final when they face us.
"I find it strange that every single team raises their game against us, but we will always approach the style of football we have created and the essence of what Atletico Nacional is all about with great humility and respect."

But that earned him another rebuke from Asprilla, who is now a respected TV pundit in his homeland.
He said: "This is hardly new in football. In Argentina, they all want to beat Boca Juniors and River Plate, in Brazil, it's Flamengo.
"It's normal for everyone to try harder to beat the big teams across the world.
"Morelos is very naive if he's only just discovering it now."
