Champions League manager immediately walks out of interview ‘upset’ after seeing what CBS Sports pundit was wearing
JAMIE CARRAGHER was snubbed for a post-match interview by Paris Saint-German manager Luis Enrique because of his OUTFIT.
The former Liverpool and England defender was on punditry duties for CBS Sports during PSG’s Champions League semi-final clash with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Carragher well and truly enjoyed the pre-match festivities with Dortmund fans, whom he downed EIGHT PINTS of beer with.
Incredibly, a boozed-up Carragher managed to conduct a post-match interview with Jadon Sancho after Dortmund’s first-leg triumph over the French champions.
But PSG gaffer Enrique swerved a post-match chat with Carra as he was wearing a Dortmund scarf after the match.
Enrique’s incredible snub was revealed by former Manchester United stopper Peter Schmeichel, who said of Carragher: “In all seriousness, he’s in the sin bin.
“Seriously, he’s upset every person here. First of all, were supposed to have Luis Enrique.
“And he came in and said, ‘hello’ and then he left because Jamie was wearing a Dortmund scarf.
“Then because we took Jadon Sancho in, the press officer from Dortmund got a bit cross with us because that was not on the list.
“We’ve been very naughty. And I hope it’s been good content.”

The transcript:
Carragher: “I’ve just been in the yellow wall, my first experience of it, you know it very well. You’ve been here before. That was one of the best experiences of my life. Amazing.”
Schmeichel: “Have you been in the yellow wall yet?”
Sancho: “No haven’t been, but week in and week out that’s how it is.”
Schmeichel: “How has it helped you on the pitch?”
Sancho: “A lot. When we hear our fans we’re so motivated from the start. When we hear them we can’t wait to play.”
Carragher: “The great thing about the Yellow Wall is the atmosphere. It’s not the best view in the world, I thought you played well. But Thierry Henry, Alessandro del Piero and Micah Richards are absolutely raving about your performance.”
Sancho: “I appreciate it but it’s not over, we still have to go to Paris and hopefully get the job done there, but I appreciate the compliments.”
Schmeichel: “You’re playing like someone looking to get in the Champions League final, but also thinking ‘I want to get into that England squad and be here in the summer’.”
Sancho: “Definitely, take it game by game and performances like today I just hope it carries on and I appreciate the compliments.”
Carragher: “What is it about you and Borussia Dortmund, you were absolutely outstanding here initially, you’ve come back and been brilliant again. What is it about this club that really resonates with yourself?”
Sancho: “I came here at 17, they gave me the opportunity to play and I’m delighted with the staff and players who have welcomed me back and I give it everything in front of the fans.”
Schemeichel: “Are you going to stay?”
Sancho: “I don’t know but I’m just focused on the present right now.”
Carragher: “The only thing at Dortmund you haven’t done is go in the Yellow Wall. Can you promise the fans you’ll go, because I found a new family, new friends. They bought me pints of lager all night. Jadon you will love it.”
Schmeichel: “Jadon, it’s not for you. You’re still an active sportsman. To be in the Yellow Wall you have to drink eight pints like he had, so it’s not for you yet.”
Sancho: “It’s not for me but I’ll definitely try it out.”
Carragher: “If you get to the final, can we have a few pints together?”
Sancho: “I don’t drink!”
Carragher hilariously poked his head on camera seconds before Schmeichel revealed Enrique’s snub, which had footie fans in stitches.
One wrote: “This is hilarious.”
Another said: “Jamie Carragher absolutely plastered on the telly. Class.
And another said: “Saw this on TikTok and i was laughing so hard HAHAHAHAHA.”
Carragher watched from the stands as Dortmund recorded a 1-0 win to move a step closer to their third-ever Champions League final appearance.
A first-half strike from Niclas Fullkrug gave the Black and Yellows a narrow lead for next weekend’s second leg in Paris.
