CBS Sports pundit Peter Schmeichel jokingly walked off set after being serenaded with a rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” by Jamie Carragher.
The legendary Manchester United goalkeeper, 60, and Carragher, 46, both cover the Champions League for the American broadcaster and have shared plenty of light-hearted moments in the past given the rivalry between their previous clubs.
Borussia Dortmund, one of the Champions League semi-finalists, traditionally sing the same pre-match anthem as Carragher's former club, Liverpool. And while previewing their first-leg tie with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, Carragher broke into song - much to Schmeichel's dismay.
The Dane walked off laughing before returning to quip: “I said to Jamie before, finally there’s a crowd who can sing that song!”. Schmeichel then added: “What I can guarantee is when you hear that song tomorrow, it will be sung a lot better.”
While Dortmund and PSG are yet to meet, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are locked at 2-2 on aggregate after an entertaining first-leg at the Allianz Arena.

The main talking point from the match was an interaction between England colleagues Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, with the former trying to put off the Bayern Munich striker before a penalty.
Kane was unaffected, though, and scored to nudge Bayern into the lead. Los Blancos restored parity late in the match through a penalty of their own, converted by Vinicius Junior.

Carragher broke into song on the show (CBS Sports)Kane revealed after the match that he hadn't fully heard Bellingham's attempts to distract him. He told TNT Sports: “I don't know what he was saying. I saw him mumbling something. Once I'm in that moment, I'm in my zone, trying to block everyone out. I'm sure he was saying something to try to put me off.”
Speaking in the mixed zone later on, Kane added: “In the moment, I didn't know what he said but I spoke to him after and he said: 'I know you're going to go left of the keeper'.
“ But it was nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away. Actually, on the pitch, I didn't know what he said. I knew he was there but I didn't know what he said. But I went left anyway. ”
