James Maddison gives the best interview of the year after gate-crashing Roy Keane's appearance on CBS Sports

The Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder gave his thoughts after his side won their first trophy in 17 years with a victory over Man Utd.

Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison gave a brilliant post-match interview and aimed a dig at Roy Keane during an appearance on CBS on Wednesday (21 May).

Maddison, 28, did not feature due to injury during Spurs’ 1-0 Europa League final win against Manchester United in Bilbao last night.

However, this did not stop him from joining in with the celebrations to mark his side’s first trophy since 2008.

The England international was interviewed on the pitch by ex-United goalkeeper turned CBS pundit Peter Schmeichel.

Keane, 53, was alongside Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher in the CBS studio, who both saw the funny side of the exchange between Maddison and the former United skipper.

“I wasn't gonna do any interviews, but I heard Roy Keane was in the studio tonight,” Maddison explained on CBS before Richards encouraged him to do his darts-throw celebration.

“Oh I will, Micah, with pleasure!” he added.

“I always said he was a good player, but he needs to be more consistent,” Keane fired back.

“And he played well tonight.”

Of course, Keane was joking, as Maddison was sidelined due to a knee injury, but could still be seen in a full Spurs kit.

“They said I had to put the kit on to get a medal!” Maddison added. “I didn't want to do a John Terry!

“What a special feeling. Winning makes [the season] all right – the pain of not being able to play is not being able to help the team.

“It is a brilliant achievement and a way to qualify for the Champions League, but it is more winning for the fans. They have had years of pain.”


Keane had previously questioned Maddison’s ability to improve those around him like other great players do.

“Maddison isn't bad when he's not at the darts,” Keane said during an episode of The Overlap earlier this year.

“But let me tell you, if you think he's going to come back and get Spurs into the top six, you're in cuckoo land.

“He's good, he's a talented player, but if you're a player in the Spurs dressing room and Maddison's back in the squad, you wouldn't be looking and going, oh Jesus, he's back today, we're going to be fine.”
