Jamie Carragher trying to interview Rafael Leao following AC Milan's result against Napoli is the funniest thing you'll see today.

Milan booked their spot in the Champions League semi-finals following their 2-1 aggregate victory over Napoli on Tuesday.

They drew 1-1 in Naples, with Olivier Giroud scoring just before the break to double their side's advantage on aggregate.

Victor Osimhen pulled one back in stoppage time as Milan secured a spot in the last four of the competition for the first time since 2007.

Leao, who has attracted interest from Europe's elite, starred on the night as he produced a sensational assist, dribbling past players before picking out his teammate.

After the game, he spoke to CBS Sports with Kate Abdo and Thierry Henry asking him questions about the tie and his stunning assist.

The post-match interview was going smoothly until Carragher popped up. The Liverpool legend asked the Portuguese ace about a potential semi-final showdown against fierce rivals Inter Milan.

But Leao couldn't understand a word he was saying in a hilarious sequence as Henry said he's a 'Scouser, sorry. It's difficult'.

Carragher attempted to repeat his question as he called Inter by their full name - Internazionale.

The reaction in the studio summed up Carragher's effort as Abdo, Henry and Richards burst out laughing.

He still couldn't grasp Carragher's accent as Abdo intervened.

Naturally, the interaction between Leao and Carragher sent social media wild.

One Twitter user wrote: "Kate and Micah were in sync ! Make this so funny."

A second tweeted: "The way Micah & Kate simultaneously hunch over & start laughing."

A third added: "Funniest thing I’ve seen all day."

A fourth joked: "Carragher’s scouser accent is a whole different level. Giving Leao headaches."

Another said: "Hands down the best pundit group on TV."

As Carragher alluded to in the interview with Leao, will Milan meet Inter for a spot in the Champions League final? Watch this space.
