MICAH RICHARDS was put on full blast on social media after getting all of his Champions League predictions wrong.
A video has reemerged of ex-Manchester City ace Richards, 35, guessing the winner of each quarter-final pair during a recent appearance on CBS Sports Golazo.
The pundit revealed his picks to presenter Kate Abdo and fellow Premier League heroes Jamie Carragher as well as Thierry Henry but not one of them ended up being right.
The former England international predicted his former club City would offload Real Madrid, Arsenal would eliminate Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid would prevail over Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona would best Paris Saint-Germain.
Richards said: “Arsenal-Bayern: The Arsenal.
“Okay, Real Madrid-Manchester City: Just Man City.

“We’ll go over this way [with] a little pirouette there Jamie. Atletico-Dortmund: Atletico.
“PSG-Barca: Sorry Kylian [Mbappe], I’m going with Barca.”
However, both Premier League giants were ultimately eliminated by Bayern and Real, while Dortmund and PSG overcame Atletico and Barcelona respectively.
Fans stormed social media and held nothing back on their assessment of Richards’ predictions.

Thomas Tuchel’s genius tactical tweak against Arsenal
FANS hailed Thomas Tuchel’s tactical tweak that “took Bukayo Saka out of the game” in their Champions League victory against Arsenal.
With regular full-back Alphonso Davies suspended, Tuchel deployed TWO full backs in his place in the shape of Noussair Mazraoui and Raphael Guerreiro.
The duo doubled up on Saka, with Mazraoui at left-back and Guerreiro playing higher up, offering him protection from midfield.
And the plan could not have worked out any better with Saka almost totally nullified.
One fan noted: “Thomas Tuchel with a tactical masterclass today starting two full-backs on the left wing to keep Bukayo Saka locked down.
“Through 75 minutes, Saka has 0 shots and 0 chances created. Just 19 accurate passes & 32 total touches…”
Tuchel himself explained: “You have to defend a lot on that side. Arsenal’s right side is where most attacks usually start. That’s their danger side. That’s why we chose Rafa (Guerreiro).”
