CBS Use First All Female Crew For Champions League Night

American television network CBS made history on Wednesday night, when they used an all female team to bring coverage of the night's Champions League action.

On Wednesday night however, Henry, Carragher and Richards were moved aside as Abdo introduced a line up of pundits, pitchside presenters, analysts and commentators made up completely of women.

Introducing the cast, Abdo said, "Well this is a special Champions League day for CBS Sports and for Paramount plus.

"Football is a diverse sport but it's a sport where women have long had to fight to prove that our voices belong.

"And a show like today chooses to celebrate our voices on a Champions League knockout night, and players and analysts and commentators, reporters and referees of this level deserve this level of platform representing tonight for CBS and for women, all around the world."

Jenny Chu and Jules Breach, the latter who often presents BT Sport's Score show, were presenting pitchside, with soccer laws analyst Christina Unkel was the 'rules expert' in the studio, presumably doing the job of Peter Walton, and presumably doing it better.

In direct replacement of her usual studio guests, Abdo was joined by Kaylyn Kyle, Eni Aluko and Lianne Sanderson.

With such an awesome team like the one CBS had on Wednesday night, it won't be too long until this kind of thing becomes commonplace.

Richards, Henry and Carragher might have a tough time getting their seats back...
