Jamie Carragher breaks down Micah Richards' four-year spell at Aston Villa in brutal segment on CBS and it's comedy gold

Richards made just 31 appearances for the Villains.

Jamie Carragher hosted a two-minute segment on CBS Sports pundit Micah Richards and his "four glorious years" at Aston Villa in a brutal, but brilliant, piece of punditry.

As always, the undefeated trio of Carragher, Richards and Thierry Henry were joined by presenter Kate Abdo ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League fixtures.

There were some big names involved in this round of games, including Real Madrid, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig and Liverpool, who played host to Serie A side Bologna.

But arguably the most anticipated tie of the round involved Aston Villa as they faced Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in their first home fixture in Europe's elite competition since 1983.

Micah Richards, who made 31 appearances for Villa during a injury-plagued four-year spell, was certainly excited by the prospect of his old side coming up against the likes of Harry Kane.

But that excitement disappeared when Jamie Carragher delivered a brutal segment on Richards' time at Villa, featuring analysis of some of his more forgettable moments.

Sit back, relax and watch another superb segment from the guys at CBS.

Richards, who signed for Aston Villa in 2015 on a free transfer from Manchester City, recently opened up on the moment he knew it was time to retire.

"I finished officially I think at 31, but realistically it was 29," he said on The Rest is Football podcast.

"Think of my career, I have talked about how I burst on the scene and we have a bit of a laugh with it. At Manchester City, I was always in the top three picks. You know when you are playing in training in five-a-side, I was always top three picks. I went to Fiorentina and I was always like top five picks.

"So we go away with Aston Villa and bear in mind Aston Villa are not a great team. They have got like five or six youngsters coming in and you have the first-team, I remember, the thing is though it wasn’t even five-a-side, it was nine-a-side.

"You had two captains, and you know whoever is looking after the session, you are thinking I want to be captain and not get embarrassed, and he put two of the younger lads as captain. And honestly, pick one goes. Pick two, three, four and it gets to about ten, we’re halfway through at this point.

"I am thinking, have they not seen my career? I’ve won the Premier League. I’ve won the FA Cup. I burst on the scene! I am not even exaggerating, I was the last pick. It was time. It continues into the dressing room that Micah was last pick. That was demoralising and that’s when I knew it was time to go."
