Jamie Carragher, looking a bit worse for wear, had a blast at the match from the famous "Yellow Wall" in Dortmund. After Borussia Dortmund's win against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final, he joined the German fans on their south terrace stand. In a hilarious post-match interview with CBS Sports, the Liverpool legend shared his experience of enjoying a few pints with the local regulars at Westfalenstation.
Backstage, Carragher joined former Manchester United star Peter Schmeichel on camera with CBS host Kate Abdo. She jokingly asked if he was "sober enough" to do the segment. Carragher, in a very merry state, admitted it was a fair point and revealed that he had about eight pints with his new "family" in the Yellow Wall throughout the evening. As Thierry Henry and Micah Richards could be heard laughing off-camera, Carragher couldn't stop praising the Dortmund fans and their incredible energy. He also took the opportunity to ask Jadon Sancho, who had just delivered an impressive performance against the French champions, about his love for the German side.
In a relaxed and lighthearted atmosphere, Sancho shared his thoughts on joining Dortmund at the young age of 17 and how they gave him the opportunity to play professional football. He expressed his gratitude towards the entire staff and players for welcoming him and always giving his best for the enthusiastic fans. During the interview, Carragher playfully mentioned that he had spotted Sancho off-camera and joked about his own eventful night in the crowd. Sancho, who had never experienced the Yellow Wall, promised to give it a try next time, to which Carragher responded with an invitation to join him for a few pints if Dortmund makes it to the final.
However, Sancho politely declined, saying he doesn't drink, and thanked the Premier League legends before heading back to the Dortmund dressing room. It was a fun and light moment shared between two football icons from different eras, highlighting the camaraderie and mutual respect between players from different teams. As the interview came to an end, viewers couldn't help but smile at the genuine bond formed between Carragher and the Dortmund fans, proving once again that football has the power to bring people together.
