On Wednesday night’s Champions League coverage on CBS Sports, Jamie Carragher had to leave at halftime, so Thierry Henry, Micah Richards, and anchor Kate Scott had to carry on the action without him.
throughout the early stages of Wednesday night’s event, the Liverpool legend, who played 737 times for the Reds throughout his playing career, was clearly not up to par, but he persevered until the cameras returned to the studio and the panel of celebrities was ready.
