Micah Richards couldn’t resist interjecting with a rude comment that confused his fellow panelists and stunned the CBS Sports studio live into silence.

The former Manchester City defender is a regular expert at the broadcaster alongside Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher, while presenter Kate Abdo tries to bring order to the turbulent trio.

However, on Tuesday evening she was undone by Richards’ witty, if a little risky, comment when discussing the prospects of French side Brest in this year’s Champions League.

The Champions League debutants recorded a stunning 4-0 victory over RB Salzburg to make it two wins from two and put Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen top of the group stage.

“It’s a big one,” said Henry, looking ahead to the Ligue 1 side’s next league match when they welcome Xabi Alonso’s men to Stade Francis Le Ble.

That line prompted giggles from Carragher and Richards before Abdo, himself tickled by the comment, tried to get it back on topic.

Only for Richards to say, “It’s a bit lopsided, I think.” That comment caused several members of the production crew to go into hysterics, with Abdo covering her face to hide her laughter.

Meanwhile, Henry was doing his best to keep a straight face by fluttering his notes, which he was staring at intensely.

Order was largely restored after a few moments, with an interview with Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi on the agenda.

The German had fired in a first-half hat-trick to help Nuri Sahin’s side beat Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic 7-1 at the Westfalenstadion. The remaining goals in Dortmund were scored by Emre Can, Felix Nmecha and Serhou Guirassy, ​​who bagged a brace.

The result is Celtic’s second heaviest European defeat, eclipsed only by their 7-0 defeat to Barcelona during Rodgers’ first spell at the club. The former Liverpool and Leicester boss has also presided over a 7-1 defeat to PSG and a 6-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Elsewhere, Arsenal secured their first win of the European season after comfortably eliminating PSG in the Emirates.

First goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka saw Mikel Arteta’s side bounce back from their opening round draw against Atalanta in Bergamo.

It all starts Jamie Carragher
