Jamie Carragher, ‘eight pints’ deep, ‘insults’ his words as he does hilarious interview with Jadon Sancho

Jamie Carragher admitted he was “testing” his words when speaking to Jadon Sancho after being handed “eight pints”.

While appearing as a pundit for CBS Sports, Liverpool legend Carragher joined fans in the famous yellow wall at Signal Iduna Park as Borussia Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Champions League first leg .

Sancho, on loan from Manchester United, was man of the match with a sublime performance, including phenomenal stats, while Niclas Fullkrug scored the only goal of the match.

The Englishman spoke to CBS Sports after the match with Man United icon Peter Schmeichel and Carragher, who admitted he may have had a little too much to drink.

But first Carragher, who was spotted drinking pints outside the ground, had some explaining to do after CBS Sports host Kate Abdo asked if he was sober enough to conduct an interview.

He said, “You know what, that’s a good point because I didn’t eat too much. I ate a cheeseburger around two-thirty.

“That might explain why I’m slurring my words. I drank about eight pints in the Yellow Wall! I have a new family, a family of friends, we all look after each other, I gave them a few drinks after halftime.”

At that point, Carragher managed to flag down Sancho, who was stuck between the former defender and Schmeichel and could have been forgiven for feeling a little overwhelmed.

In the studio, Thierry Henry had his head in his hand while Micah Richards burst out laughing, saying: “He has his arms around him!”

Meanwhile, an excited Carragher, with a loving hand on his shoulder, spoke at length about his eye-opening experience with Dortmund fans as Sancho tried to keep his cool.

Carragher continued: “Tonight I was in the Yellow Wall. The great thing about the Yellow Wall is the atmosphere. It’s not the best view in the world, I thought you did well .

“But Thierry Henry, Alessandro Del Piero and Micah Richards are in the studio and they were absolutely delighted with your performance.”

Sancho replied: “I appreciate it but it’s not over. We still have to go to Paris and I hope we can get the job done, I appreciate the feedback and I hope we can continue.”

Carragher then asked him: “Jadon, if you make it to the final, can we have a few pints together?”

Sancho thanked the former England international, joking: “I don’t drink”, before shaking hands and quickly running off.

Dortmund could be ahead in the tie, but could have been further ahead with several chances for the home side.

However, PSG will also waste their errors in front of goal with Ousmane Dembele shooting late in the match from a brilliant position.

Kylian Mbappe also hit the post while the rebound eventually fell to Achraf Hakimi, who then hit the other frame of the goal.

This constitutes a well-balanced meeting at the Parc des Princes, which begins next Tuesday.
