On Wednesday night, Jamie Carragher made his much-anticipated return to the punditry lineup, and Kate Scott delivered what is widely considered to be the most brutal introduction in the history of CBS.
As Liverpool was eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain through the use of penalties, Carragher was present in the crowd at Anfield.
With a stone-faced expression on his face, the former Liverpool defender made his way to the Kop. Shortly after the final whistle blew on Tuesday, he admitted that he was feeling “deflated” after seeing Arne Slot’s team lose in the round of 16.
He expressed his disappointment in the outcome to CBS, saying, “I am a bit deflated about the result but listen, the best team won, and that team is Paris Saint-Germain.”
As a result of their performance in the first leg, we were able to make it 1-0. I referred to it as a blunder. I had the impression that Liverpool was going to go on to win this game with ease for the first twenty minutes to half an hour of it,” he continued. “I thought they were going to win it easily.”
They were simply unable to achieve that goal in the beginning. They had two or three opportunities that they failed to capitalise on, followed by PSG scoring that goal.
“For the remainder of the game, it felt like it was a nip and tuck,” the 47-year-old player continued. It was almost as if PSG took control of the game during the extra period. We were all just desperate and hanging on for penalties when I was in the Kop, and most of us were waiting for penalties. On the other hand, even that wasn’t a given; it’s a lottery, and anything could happen anywhere.
Following such a disheartening evening, Carragher made his way back to the CBS studio, where he was joined by Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, and Micah Richards, in preparation for an exciting evening during which Champions League action would take place.
However, presenter Scott was quick to remind the so-called “prodigal son” about the outcome of her introduction on Tuesday night, which has since gone viral among internet users.
Here are the responses that fans on social media had to the video that is below.
“He is RATTTTLLLEEEDDD inside,” one person said, while another person commented, “Kate, please never stop cooking his ass.” Those s***s are making us very happy.
“Every time I think Kate Scott can’t out-do herself,” wrote a third one of the respondents.
A fourth person commented, “This is generational cooking from Kate,” and a fifth person added, “She didn’t have to do him like that and she did it anyway.”
During the beginning of the segment, Scott said, “Hello, and welcome to our studios in London.” Hello, my name is Kate Scott, and I am delighted to have Thierry Henry and Micah Richards here with me once more.
In the same way that the story of the prodigal son is happening tonight. His boots were a little too big for him, but he believed that life would be more enjoyable on the road. He was under the impression that he would be away, drinking and having a good time, but he encountered a significant setback and realised how foolish he had been.
Scott went on to say, “He returned home, humbled.” With the expectation that he would be accepted. With Jamie Carragher once again occupying the chair.
The expression that Carragher has on his face is incomparable. How do you feel about the segment? Leave a comment below and let us know.
