This week of the Champions League was marked by a slip-up live on a television channel.

The true cradle of football, England provides very comprehensive media coverage of Champions League evenings. Official broadcaster, the CBS channel is one of the most followed thanks to its host of star consultants. Among these are a figure in French football in the person of Thierry Henry.

But the 2018 world champion is not CBS’s only star consultant. Former England international defenders Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher officiate alongside him in a show presented by Kate Abdo during the big Champions League evenings.

The very inappropriate remark from this star consultant

Renowned for their sense of repartee, Henry and Carragher are not stingy with punchlines to fuel debates on world football stars. But the Englishman is also known for his quiet character. And this week, he indulged in a rather inappropriate remark towards Kate Abdo.

Carragher, who wore an Arsenal jersey during the Gunners’ match against Porto, told Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo that they should have imitated him. To which the latter replied that she would remain “loyal” to Manchester United, her favorite club. But Carragher didn’t stop there and replied: “You are not faithful to Malik”. A reference to Malik Scott, companion of the presenter well known in England. ” What ? But how can you say that? », Kate Abdo took offense. A palpable unease which fueled the web.
