Before Borussia Dortmund’s semi-final first-leg match against Paris Saint-Germain, CBS Sports’ analyst Jamie Carragher, during Champions League coverage, decided to fully engage himself in the fan experience.
Carragher, who is popularly known for his analytical prowess in the studio alongside Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, and Micah Richards, decided to take a different approach this time.
Jamie Carragher’s ‘Yellow Wall’ experience
Carragher joined Dortmund fans in the iconic Yellow Wall, downing pints and engaging in jubilant celebrations. Videos surfaced of him enjoying the atmosphere, drinking, and even dancing with supporters throughout the night.
The unplanned interview
As the match ended with Dortmund winning 1-0, Carragher ended up with a microphone and feeling a bit tipsy from drinking too much.
What happened next was totally unexpected, as a tipsy Carragher ended up interviewing Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho live, showing off his cheerful personality and natural sense of humor.

A memorable moment
Carragher’s tipsy chat with Sancho became the hot topic, injecting some surprise into the post-match interview. However, it was a bit out of the ordinary for a pundit, but it definitely stuck with the audience, revealing a fun side to the CBS pundit that we don’t always see.
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy recently reported that Jamie Carragher criticized Mohamed Salah, labeling him ‘daft’ for his remarks in the mixed zone following his touchline altercation with manager Jurgen Klopp.
