Jamie Carragher left Thierry Henry in stitches during an interview with Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho on Wednesday night.

The Liverpool legend was working in Germany for CBS Sport as part of their coverage of Dortmund's Champions League semi-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Niclas Fullkrug scored the game's only goal to give the Bundesliga side a slender lead going into the second leg in Paris.

And after the game, Carragher was with former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel in the mixed zone to analyse the game and speak to players. The former Reds' centre-back appeared tipsy after explaining that he drank eight pints whilst watching the game in Dortrmund's famous yellow wall.

When asked if he was sober enough to do the interview, he responded: "Well that's a good point, I had a cheeseburger at about half two when I got to the hotel.

"It might explain why I'm slurring my words because I've had about eight pints in the yellow wall and I've got a new family, a family of friends, we all look after each other. I gave them a few bob after half-time."

Carragher then beckoned Jadon Sancho over for an interview, with Henry squealing "this guy", amid laughter from fellow pundits Micah Richards and Alessandro Del Piero.

"I've just been in the Yellow Wall, my first experience of it. Obviously, you know it very well as you've been here before. That was one of the best experiences of my life - amazing," Carragher said.

Sancho praised the Dortmund support before Carragher continued: "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 in the studio and they're absolutely raving about your performance."

Sancho replied: "I appreciate it but we still have to go to Paris and get the job done there."
