MICAH RICHARDS shocked co-hosts Kate Abdo and Thierry Henry as he ripped into Jamie Carragher during CBS’ Champions League coverage.
CBS’ coverage of the Champions League has become a hit around the world due to the electric chemistry between the pundits and host.
And one of the things that fans have loved so much is the team being happy to lay into each other.
Yesterday’s coverage saw the CBS crew cover Newcastle’s trip to AC Milan and Manchester City’s win over Red Star Belgrade.
And fans online were in stitches when Richards trolled co-host Carrgher, saying: “Can I just make a reference?
“We’ve been on air for five hours and we haven’t actually referenced that you should be doing Thursday nights.”

Both Abdo and Henry seemed a bit shocked that Richards would go there but Carragher came back and said: “I’ll do Thursdays if you do Wednesdays.”
But of course the whole thing was taken in good nature with the four laughing as they exchanged their typical banter.
Richards was referencing the fact that Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League last year for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
The Merseyside club finished fifth on 67 points, four points behind Newcastle in fourth.

Another fan said: “Big Meeks needs his mate @alanshearer on board this season, get @Carra23 on the Thursday night shift.”
While a third said: “Such a shame we can’t watch this show in the UK.”
The CBS team will be back tonight as they cover Real Madrid vs unlikely Bundesliga qualifiers Union Berlin and Bayern Munich vs Manchester United.
