‘We need to speak to Uefa’, say CBS Sports panel as Kate Abdo and Co reveal major Champions League complaint


KATE ABDO and the CBS Sports panel have threatened to “lodge an official complaint” to Uefa for their Champions League scheduling.

Presenter Abdo was joined by the regular trio of Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards for coverage of Manchester City vs Real Madrid and Bayern Munich vs Arsenal.

But just seconds into the broadcast, Richards addressed something from the night before when Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund swatted aside Atletico Madrid.

It regarded the games having the same kick-off times, a gripe Abdo and Carragher agreed with.

The ex-Liverpool star said: “Can we just say last night was terrific, one of the best nights in the Champions League we’ve had.

“The only negative, and I don’t want to put a negative on it, is both matches were played at the same time.”

To which Abdo replied: “Do we want to lodge an official complaint?”

Carragher then said: “Uefa, we need to speak to Uefa, don’t we?”

Before Richards joked: “Of course we do. We’re big friends with Uefa aren’t we?”

When Carragher sarcastically agreed, Richards added: “Not too many complaints but just suggestions.”
