Prior to kick-off, former Liverpool man and 2005 Champions League winner Carragher was seen walking to the stadium with the travelling supporters while appearing on CBS Sports' coverage.
Speaking pitch side, Carragher said: "I've been with the Dortmund fans already today. Our relationship is like a house on fire. We absolutely love the bones of each other, just have a look at this."
Footage of Carragher's journey to the stadium with Dortmund fans was then shown, with the former England man seen sharing a drink with them.
Carragher was heard saying: "They've given me a beer, what can I do?"
The 47-year-old also joined in as Dortmund fans chanted their way to the Etihad.
In response, CBS Sports presenter Kate Scott said: "A picture of professionalism, Jamie. Love it!"
Meanwhile, Arsenal great Thierry Henry said: "Wow, wow, wow."
Carragher added: "It's been fantastic, we've had a great walk in from Manchester city centre into the ground.
"They are, as you can imagine, enjoying themselves and looking forward to the game. They are a little bit worried about Erling Haaland, but they've got their own man up front (Serhou) Guirassy, who they think might have able to cause a problem or two. But, they're in full flight and hopefully, by the end of the game, they're going to be really enjoying themselves, and I'm going to join them!"
However, Dortmund fans were left disappointed with 22 minutes on the clock after Phil Foden opened the scoring with a brilliant effort from outside the penalty area.
In the 29th minute, Erling Haaland made it 2-0 after smashing home a low cross from Jeremy Doku.
