Gianluigi Buffon Gatecrashes CBS Studio Coverage to Roast Jamie Carragher

Juventus and Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon made a surprise appearance on CBS Sports ahead of the final round of the Champions League group stage - before immediately roasting Jamie Carragher.

Buffon is currently the co-ordinator of the Italy men's national team, a position he has held since 2023.

At the beginning of the CBS show, presenter Kate Scott did her traditional introductions for pundits Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards.

She then stated that the CBS crew had decided to 'make a fuss' out of one member of the show on what is their 48th birthday.

Liverpool legend Carragher was born on this day 48 years ago, with the camera quickly panning across to show his face.

Scott then brilliantly introduced Buffon to the show - who, coincidentally, also turns 48 today.

He was asked if he knew he shared a birthday with Carragher, to which he replied: "Absolutely not!"

When Scott replied by asking if Buffon knew who Carragher was, he caused the studio to erupt into laughter by stating: "No. Who is this man?"

The legendary goalkeeper was, of course, joking, and subsequently congratulated Carragher on his birthday.

"You are so lucky to share a birthday with a legend like me!" he laughed.

Carragher asked Buffon whether he remembered facing him in an under-16s match when England took on Italy.

"I remember," he said. "I'm sure Italy won the match?"

"We won 2-0 in Italy," Carragher said. "And I scored! We drew 0-0 and you saved a penalty in the game. It was at Walsall's stadium."

"I didn't remember. Because now I am an old man," Buffon replied. "I remove all of my memories."

Buffon will hope that his former side Juventus can finish in the top eight of the Champions League group phase and qualify for the knockout stages - though that is extremely unlikely.

Juve started the day one point behind with eighth-placed Chelsea, but with six other teams ahead of them.

A win over Monaco would see them finish on 15 points, which will almost certainly not be enough to qualify automatically.
