Jamie Carragher’s ‘drunk’ interview with Jadon Sancho after drinking eight pints at Borussia Dortmund’s famous ‘Yellow Wall’ left the CBS studio in hysterics.
The Liverpool legend turned pundit was sent to watch Dortmund’s Champions League semi-final victory over Paris Saint-Germain with local fans.
Carragher said he had no problem getting a beer before the match as he greeted his new “family and friends” from Dortmund.
Spectators were then treated to a fun post-match chat between Carragher and Sancho, on loan from Manchester United, who enjoyed an impressive night.
Carragher, wearing a Dortmund scarf, conducted much of the interview with his arm around Sancho, leaving the CBS studio panel bursting into laughter.

Sancho seemed amused when a cheerful Carragher attempted to conduct an interview.
The interview left Thierry Henry (left) with his head in his hands in the CBS studio, before presenter Kate Abdo (right) joked about Carragher touching Sancho.
He’s putting his arm around him! Micah Richards was heard screaming.
Thierry Henry sat with his head in his hands, before presenter Kate Abdo made a funny joke at Carragher’s expense.
’99 touches from him (Sancho) in that game tonight. “31 touches from Jamie Carragher to Jadon Sancho in the interview he did with him,” he said, leaving Richards in another fit of laughter.
Dortmund will take a 1-0 lead against Paris for next Tuesday’s second leg thanks to Niclas Fullkrug’s first-half goal.
As Carragher lined up next to Peter Schmeichel for post-match interviews, a concerned Abdo asked him: “Are you sober enough to do this, Jamie?”
He replied: ‘You know that’s actually a good point. I haven’t eaten too much. I had a cheeseburger around two thirty.
‘That might explain why I may be slurring my words because I’ve had about eight pints at the Yellow Wall.
‘I have a new family, a family and friends. We all took care of each other.
Sancho, on loan from Manchester United, impressed that night as Dortmund claimed a 1-0 victory.
Niclas Fullkrug’s first-half goal gave Dortmund the lead heading into Paris next week.

Carragher then spotted Sancho and invited him over for a chat, immediately putting his arm around the Englishman as he was handed a microphone.
‘I’ve just been to the Yellow Wall, my first experience there. You obviously know this very well because you’ve been here before. “That was one of the best experiences of my life – incredible,” Carragher said.
Sancho praises Dortmund’s support before Carragher continues: “The good thing about the Yellow Wall is the atmosphere, it’s not the best view in the world but I thought you played well.
“But Thierry Henry, Alessandro Del Piero and Micah Richards are in the studio and they are absolutely enthusiastic about your performance.”
Sancho replies, “I appreciate that, but we still have to go to Paris and do the work there.”
Coverage then cuts to the studio, where Henry is slumped over the desk with his head in his hands and Del Piero sways back and forth.
After Schmeichel asks him about Sancho’s England ambitions for Euro 2024, Carragher, with his other hand on his shoulder, asks the winger what Dortmund means to him.
Peter Schmeichel (left) said Carragher had been “sent to the sin bin” before reappearing.
‘That’s a great question. “I came here when I was 17 and was given the opportunity to play professional football, so I’m delighted with the staff and players who have welcomed me,” he said.
Sancho then closes out a question about his future with his parent club United, before Carragher continues to wax lyrical about the Yellow Wall.
But he warns Sancho that he may need to drink eight pints before being with the fans.
Schmeichel had clearly seen enough and sent his colleague to the ‘sin bin’ after Sancho left.
