Micah Richards attempts to copy Xabi Alonso's wonderful first touch, the studio was in stitches

Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso proved he's still got it with a silky first touch during their Champions League clash against Club Brugge. Micah Richards, on the other hand...

After an impressive start, however, the Spaniard has failed to register another win since.

The Bundesliga outfit currently sit in the relegation zone after another disappointing defeat last weekend, but at least Alonso is still entertaining the masses pitchside.

On Tuesday night, during what turned into a forgettable 0-0 draw against Belgian outfit Club Brugge, the former Bayern man decided to spice things up with an impeccable first touch on the Bay Arena touchline.

Then, much to the delight of former teammate Jamie Carragher, who described Alonso as the pass master, CBS Sports decided to replay Alonso's touch in the studio.

You can see the hilarious footage below.

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez, a special guest in the CBS studio, was in stitches along alongside fellow pundit Jamie Carragher. They certainly have a good laugh, don't they.

After finishing on five points, they came out on top against bottom of the group Atletico Madrid based on head-to-head results. Brugge finished second behind FC Porto.

"Because he wants to please so much and do so much and he wants to wow the Liverpool fans, sometimes he rushes it. He gets the ball and he rushes it instead of controlling, going back on his right foot and finishing clean.

"I went through that. When you arrive as a big signing and just overdo it at times. Coming in after Sadio Mane, that’s not easy to do and you just overdo it instead of being calm, cool and finishing.

"He’s the type of guy where when he gets one then things will come. I don’t think he’s a finisher like Robbie Fowler, not a lot of people are finishers like Robbie Fowler in all fairness, but he has goals in him."
