The Liverpool legend was not part of CBS’s famed panel for their Champions League coverage and was instead replaced by Juventus and Italy legend Alessandro Del Piero in the studio.
However, Carragher had a more exciting role as he watched Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League semi-final win over Paris Saint-Germain from Signal Iduna Park.
In fact, he was actually in Dortmund’s ‘Yellow Wall’ with the club’s most passionate fanbase and claimed to have sunk “about eight pints” watching Niclas Fullkrug bag the winner.

But there was more chaos to follow right at the end of the broadcast. Carragher was told off for being “too loud” while in the mixed zone, causing he and Schmeichel to lower their voices.

The pair have clearly moved past the slightly controversial comment about Abdo’s other half Malik Scott a few weeks back and CBS continue to provide entertainment with their unprecedented Champions League coverage.
On Tuesday panelist Thierry Henry sent Carragher “back to his lane” after a Micah Richards joke, while they staged a superb interview with Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller following the 2-2 draw with Real Madrid.
