Micah Richards left the CBS Sports panel stunned with the question he asked the PSG owner, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, after they knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League on Wednesday (May 7).
Richards, 36, was at the Parc des Princes as PSG ran out 2-1 winners (3-1 on aggregate) against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday.
Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi got on the scoresheet before Bukayo Saka’s consolation goal, as the Ligue 1 champions set up a final against Inter in Munich on May 31.

And Richards, a self-confessed Arsenal supporter, was alongside former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel as the pair provided pitch-side coverage for CBS on the night.
The duo interviewed PSG owner Al-Khelaifi after his side's victory and he was quick to explain how much reaching the final meant to him.
"Here in France, it is really important," Al-Khelaifi said.

"Today we fought not just for Paris Saint-Germain but for France for the league; for Ligue 1, for the young talent in Paris."
"There is still one match to go, we are not done," he added.

But it was what Richards said in reply that really amused the CBS panel.
"Thierry [Henry] has got your number, can I have your number?" quipped Richards.

"Of course," the PSG owner replied, before the CBS panel made up of Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry saw the funny side and burst into laughter.
Thierry Henry on PSG vs Arsenal
Henry, 47, gave his take on last night's events after full time, he said: "The best team went through. People will talk to me about moments, and yeah, moments do matter. Details do matter. Paris Saint-Germain beats Arsenal at the beginning, at the Emirates I’m talking about, and scored. Arsenal did the same thing at the Parc des Prince, and didn’t score.
"At the end of the day, the best team went through. It is painful, but there’s nothing really you can say. At one point, Arsenal started to be really direct. Any throw in, any free kick, anything, were played long in the box. And by the way, it worked. It did work. But not enough. And that was the difference between the two teams."
