Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher reflects on beers with Borussia Dortmund fans ahead of the Champions League final

Jamie Carragher stayed true to his word and joined Borussia Dortmund supporters for a few beers before the Champions League final.

Carragher joined the yellow wall at Signal Iduna Park during Dortmund’s Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, where he admitted he drank “about eight pints” while working as a pundit for CBS Sports.

This led to an all-time classic interview with Jadon Sancho after the match, with the Liverpool legend slurring his words and the Dortmund loanee looking a little uncomfortable.

Carragher had previously been seen drinking beers outside the pitch with fans before a ball was kicked, and had promised to have a few more if they reached the final at Wembley.

He stayed true to his word, with the former Liverpool defender pictured with a group of Dortmund supporters having a few drinks on Friday ahead of the final against Real Madrid.

CBS Sports released the video footage of Carragher singing and dancing with Dortmund supporters on the streets of London.

And he was already a little joyful, happy to be reunited with his family, he admitted.

At one point he was heard shouting: “Where have you gone now Madrid?”

On May 1, Carragher joined the fans in the stands at Signal Iduna Park and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Speaking to CBS Sports host Kate Abdo after the match, he said: “I drank about eight pints in the Yellow Wall!

“I have a new family, a family of friends, we all take care of each other, I gave them a few shots after halftime.”

That’s when Carragher rushed Sancho for an impromptu interview with the former defender putting an arm around the Manchester United loanee.

In the studio, Thierry Henry had his head in his hand while Micah Richards couldn’t hold back his laughter as he said: “He has his arms around him!”

Carragher told a stunned Sancho: “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 played well.”

Carragher could get a better view on Saturday at Wembley when Dortmund and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League final.

Jude Bellingham’s side are the favorites to win the trophy, but the Bundesliga side have surprised everyone this season.

Edin Terzic’s men knocked Atletico Madrid and PSG out of the competition and also finished second in a tough group including French champions Newcastle and AC Milan.
