Micah Richards hilariously aimed a savage dig at CBS Sports pundit Thierry Henry after Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola sent a message to the Arsenal legend.
City secured an emphatic 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash at the Etihad on Tuesday evening.
Goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland ensured a crucial victory for Guardiola’s men ahead of their second-leg tie in Germany on 19th April.
Guardiola led City to their first Champions League final in 2021, but he fell short of capturing the prestigious European trophy after his side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Former City right-back Richards was in the CBS Sports studio alongside Henry, Jamie Carragher and presenter Kate Abdo for the Champions League coverage.
During the coverage for City vs Bayern, pitch-side presenter Jules Breach opened up about her off-camera interaction with former Barcelona boss Guardiola.
She revealed that the 52-year-old Spaniard had a message for Henry, who played under the City manager during his spell at the Camp Nou.
Speaking to her CBS Sports colleagues, Breach said: “One of my favourite moments tonight was speaking to Guardiola off camera as he walked past to do some other interviews, he actually grabbed me and said, ‘Jules, please can you say hi to ‘TiTi’ back in the studio.’”
Richards playfully poked fun at Henry and used a famous reference from the hit TV show The Inbetweeners after Guardiola snubbed him.
“Oooh friends. Football friends,” he said to Henry.
Henry did his much-beloved “twitching smile” after hearing Breach’s message from Guardiola, with Abdo and Carragher in stitches during the ‘Oooh friends’ banter.
One fan said in response to the footage: “These lot are so f*****g hilarious, man.”
Someone else added: “[This] show is never boring, their chemistry is unrivalled.”
“Micah said that friends from his heart and meant it. He’s hurt,” a third posted.
While another wrote: “TiTi’s expression, LMAO.”
A fifth tweeted: “That twitching smile is forever iconic from Thierry.”
And a sixth Twitter user commented: “That mouth thingy from Henry always has me in stitches.”
