Thierry Henry was stunned into silence by Kate Abdo's cheeky put-down after Jamie Carragher claimed Micah Richards is merely the "entertainer" on the CBS Sports panel.

Abdo was hosting the Wednesday night Champions League show alongside the trio of former professionals when Carragher began discussing what they bring to the table as individuals.

The former Liverpool centre-back dubbed Henry "the tactical man" and Richards "the entertainer", to which Abdo interjected, saying: "I don't like that. I think Micah is much more than that.

"I think he matches you in tactical analysis, do you not think he matches you in tactical analysis?" Richards, accepting the compliment, added: "I think I'm the full package."

Carragher then asked, "What else does he match me in?", to which Abdo quickly hit back, "I think he exceeds you in a couple of things," sparking wooing from the ex-Liverpool star and Richards, and a look of sheer disbelief from Henry.

The comment sparked a humorous reaction on social media, with one Twitter/X user writing: "Titi's face at the end". Another added: "I'm dying here," and a third said: "Thierry has so many questions in his head now."

Carragher was on the wrong end of the joke on Tuesday night after Harry Kane suggested he'd lied about contacting the Bayern Munich superstar before their Champions League clash with Lazio.

Kate Abdo sparked laughter from the CBS Sports panel

Carragher had been telling his colleagues on the show how he had spoken to Kane on the phone before the last-16 second-leg game, prompting Abdo to ask the England striker after their 3-0 win.

"Before we do anything, I think we should clear something up because Jamie said earlier in the pre-game that he called you and spoke to you this week - is that true or false?" asked Abdo.

"Erm, that is false," replied Kane, sparking laughter from Henry and Richards. Carragher, meanwhile, pleaded: "H, don't do this to me! I'm telling everyone in America that we're friends, that we've got a great relationship. I can't believe you have just done that to me!"

Kane later reassured Carragher by saying: "We are friends but I'm not going to lie on national TV," adding: "We exchange messages on Twitter, you know. Twitter friends."
