Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards shared a hilarious exchange whilst speaking about Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
On Wednesday night, Carragher and Richards were alongside Thierry Henry as they provided punditry for CBS Sports’ coverage of the Champions League round of 16 matches.
Dortmund were in action as they managed to record a narrow 1-0 first-leg win over Premier League side Chelsea after a brilliant solo goal from Karim Adeyemi.
After the match, Carragher and Richards shared a funny exchange over Dortmund star Bellingham.

The 19-year-old called out the former Liverpool defender after he urged CBS reporter Nico Cantor to propose to his girlfriend who was watching at home.
Bellingham said to Cantor: “When he was trying to get you to propose? Jamie, do better. Not on Valentine's Day, when she's there, come on.
“I've got your [Nico Cantor] back there. You should've protected yourself a little bit more though... big names in the studio, crumbled a little bit, it's alright.”
On the back of Bellingham’s words, Carragher said: “Listen, I want that man in a red shirt so I'm going to do whatever he tells me to do!
“So if Jude Bellingham has got any more advice for me, I'm taking it all day my friend!”
At this point Richards said: “You sound quite desperate right now,” Carragher responded: “For Jude Bellingham? I am! We are!”
On the impact he had in the game, Richards said: “He’s a class act. We have been talking about him for years.
“He’s just class, whether he’s in a defensive role or an attacking role, his game intelligence, he’s just got it all. Big things for his future ahead.”
Due to his stellar performances, Bellingham is being lined up by a host of clubs including Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
It has been reported that Liverpool are desperate to get their hands on the England international but they will face a huge task to lure him to Anfield considering the current form of Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Who will Bellingham sign for in the summer? Only time will tell.
