Thierry Henry, the former footballer for Arsenal, engaged in a playful exchange with fellow pundit Jamie Carragher regarding Liverpool’s absence from this season’s Champions League. The conversation took place during the preview of the upcoming quarter-final matches on CBS Sports’ coverage of the Champions League. In a jesting manner, Henry commented, “It’s actually better when Liverpool are not in the Champions League. He behaves, he’s a bit more relaxed, there’s less screaming…” Carragher responded by noting that CBS also covers the Europa League, and Liverpool is set to face Atalanta in the quarter-finals of that competition. However, Carragher mentioned that he would only serve as a pundit for the final match of the Europa League.
Additionally, during the discussion, Carragher, Henry, Micah Richards, and Peter Schmeichel offered their predictions on the potential winner of this season’s Champions League. Carragher expressed his belief that Manchester City will once again secure the trophy, while Richards is backing his former team, City. Schmeichel, however, has tipped Real Madrid to claim their 15th Champions League title in their history.
Moreover, Carragher and Henry shared their predictions for the upcoming quarter-final matches. Carragher selected Bayern Munich to triumph over Arsenal, Manchester City to defeat Real Madrid, and PSG to advance to the final. On the other hand, Henry expressed his sole concern for Arsenal and predicted their victory as champions. The banter between the two former footballers added a lighthearted and entertaining element to the discussion.
