Jamie Carragher dismissed Real Madrid's Champions League win in 2022 as nothing more than a fluke on US TV on Tuesday night after the astonishing 5-2 victory over Liverpool. The last-16 tie at Anfield was a repeat of last season's final, a game that Los Blancos also won but in much less dramatic fashion.
Appearing on CBS Sports for the game as a pundit due to BT Sport owning the rights to streaming European matches in the UK, Carragher let his hair down after the game. He had just seen his former side squander a 2-0 lead inside 14 minutes, conceding five unanswered goals.
It comes with Liverpool's impressive European record at stake having reached the final in three of the past five years, only failing to do so in 2020 and 2021. The latter is also the second time in three seasons that an all English final graced the pitch.
