JAMIE CARRAGHER brutally revealed the extent of Micah Richards’ homework ahead of Manchester City’s clash in Real Madrid – and it contained just FOUR words.
Kevin De Bruyne’s stunner earned the Cityzens a brilliant 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
And much-loved ex-City defender Richards was tasked with providing analysis for American channel CBS Sports along with Liverpool legend Carra and Thierry Henry in the studio.
Before the game he was pressed to make a prediction on the scoreline and how it would pan out.
And it’s fair to say Richards didn’t have much to go on.
Richards said: “Don’t ask me about the game because I don’t know what it’s going to be.

“I’ve done all my analysis and tried to pick the bones out of it…”
At that point Carragher jumped in and said: “Can I just interrupt for one second. Give us your pad…
“You know when he said that he’s done all of his analysis, can you just zoom in please.”
At that point he held aloft the pad he had snatched from in front of Richards and held it up for the camera.

Carragher continued: “It just says ‘Man City’ and ‘Real Madrid.’”
The camera then zoomed in to show a blank page which had just the two team names written down and nothing else.
As Richards, 34, burst into laughter, Carragher said: “There’s the analysis. There it is.”
The red-faced Richards then replied as Carragher and Thierry Henry chuckled: “Usually it’s hours and hours but today there is no prediction from me.”
The incident marked an unfortunate few days for Richards after he spilt coffee over himself, with Gary Neville then sharing the footage of the embarrassment mishap while working for Sky Sports.
