Jamie Carragher was unable to resist aiming a lighthearted barb at old foe Peter Schmeichel whilst the pair were on punditry duties for Tuesday evening’s Champions League fixtures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pair have featured on the European competition’s coverage on US broadcaster CBS for some time together, with the two former professionals frequently recalling the Manchester United-Liverpool rivalry in their banter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this time, Carragher had to put in a little work to make the treble-winning goalkeeper the butt of the joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As punditry paused, the pair both took the opportunity to congratulate their colleague Thierry Henry on his new role coaching France’s Under-21 side.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Schmiechel praised the Arsenal legend, saying: ‘I’m so happy for you and your new job. It’s going to be exciting to follow. You can coach at the Olympics.’<\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher didn’t pass up the opportunity to get a joke in on CBS’ Champions Leauge programming on Tuesday evening<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Liverpool legend was quick to tease former Man United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ribbing came during a conversation congratulating Thierry Henry on his new role with France’s U21 side<\/p>\n
As Henry was thanking his former Premier League rival – and being called out by co-host Micah Richards for ‘blushing’ at the compliments – Schmeichel then suggested that he might join him as his assistant manager.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ready to let rip, Carragher swooped in with a jibe, laughingly adding: ‘(Schmeichel would) be the only assistant in history to have a longer team talk than the manager!’<\/p>\n
But rather than rise to the bait, Schmeichel admitted: ‘Yeah, probably, yeah’, in agreement with the former Liverpool man.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The latest round of gentle teasing between the two men comes on the heels of an incident in March which saw Carragher, who featured for the Reds for 17 years – revel in the infamous 7-0 scoreline when Man United met Liverpool at Anfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ex-defender gleefully tried to bring up the number seven as much as possible in conversation ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund to the former goalkeeper, even bringing a can of 7-Up with him into the studio.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Carragher highlighted the date – ‘the seventh of March’ as well as a potential ‘seven-figure’ price-tag for then-Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Continuing to rib Schmeichel, who made 400 appearances during his United career, Carragher continued, asking him: ‘Peter, you’re going to be at AC Milan tomorrow, how big a problem would that be if they go out of the Champions League?<\/p>\n
‘We are talking about the seven-time winners, I mean seven times winning the Champions League.’<\/p>\n
As Carragher looked for increasingly inventive ways to bring up the Red Devils’ demolition on the road, Schmeichel eventually started to see the funny side in his line of enquiry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After receiving everyone’s congratulations before kick-off, Henry went into a little more detail about why he had taken up the coaching job with France, which he will do alongside continuing his punditry duties for CBS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Schmeichel previously had to take a volley of jibes about Man United’s 7-0 defeat to Liverpool during coverage of a Chelsea match last season<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019ve evolved since managing at Monaco, I\u2019ve learned more empathy, to be more vulnerable with your players, and trust in my staff,’ Henry shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Yes I had my doubts (after Monaco), and that\u2019s perfectly normal. When you\u2019re on the bench and you have doubts, you see things differently. One thing is really important: you need time to put something in place.’<\/p>\n
Henry took charge in the Principality for an uneven spell between October 2018 and January 2019 after working as the assistant coach for the Belgian national team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The France legend saw more success managing Montreal Impact in MLS between 2019 and 2021, but the challenges of managing duing Covid-19 eventually forced him to walk away.<\/p>\n
