BBC suffer bizarre technical fault during Gareth Southgate post-match interview that left Gary Lineker shocked

BBC suffer bizarre technical fault during Gareth Southgate post-match interview that left Gary Lineker shocked

The fault prompted Lineker to make an on-air intervention.

The BBC suffered a bizarre technical glitch during their post-match analysis of England's loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

BBC reporters were pitchside after England's 2-1 defeat to Spain in Berlin, which saw Mikel Oyarzabal score the winning goal.

It was more final heartbreak for the Three Lions after they lost the Euro 2020 final to Italy via a penalty shootout.

One of the main topics after the Spain game was the future of Gareth Southgate as manager - although he did not publicly confirm his intentions during his post-match interview, instead stating that he would take his time before coming to a final decision.

He almost didn't get to utter those words to the millions watching on terrestrial TV, however - as he was cut off mid-sentence.

The BBC feed instead somehow cut to a Spanish interviewer asking a question to striker Alvaro Morata in the pair's native language - while providing viewers with a very zoomed-in shot of Morata's head.

The feed then jumped back to the studio, where Rio Ferdinand was talking into Gary Lineker's ear.

Once it became clear what was happening, Lineker jolted into action and exclaimed: "Ah, we're in vision!" as pundits Ferdinand, Juan Mata and Micah Richards all laughed.

You can watch the clip below.

Fans did eventually get to hear from Southgate, who assessed his side's performance in Berlin.

He said: "To get to another final, it was a privilege to have the opportunity. But to come up short is hard at the moment.

"The players will take enormous credit for getting us to where we did, but when you're as close as that, you have to take your chance.

"They have represented the shirt with pride and haven't been beaten until the very end. I just think Spain had more control of the game.

"England are in a really good position in terms of the experience they have. Most of this squad will be around for the next World Cup and maybe the next Euros.

"Of course, to take England to two finals has never been done, but we came here to win and we haven't been able to do that ... we have been consistently back in the matches that matter. It's the last step we haven't been able to do."
