Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool star, made headlines when he joined Borussia Dortmund fans for a few drinks ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain. Carragher enjoyed the experience so much that he decided to do it again before the final against Real Madrid.
In May, Carragher downed eight pints before interviewing Jadon Sancho on CBS Sports following Dortmund’s 1-0 win against PSG. His enthusiasm for joining the fans resonated with viewers, and after Dortmund secured their spot in the final with a 1-0 victory in Paris, Carragher was seen once again with the Black and Yellow supporters.
A video shared by CBS Sports showed Carragher singing with a beer in hand alongside Dortmund fans the day before the final. He could be heard shouting, “Where have you gone now Madrid?” The fans responded positively to Carragher’s return, with one comment stating, “He’s happy to be back with his friends and family and the yellow wall.” Another fan remarked, “He just like me for real,” while others expressed their excitement about celebrating with Sancho and Haller.
Carragher’s presence among the Dortmund fans has sparked speculation about whether he will be allowed to indulge in pints on matchday by CBS bosses. However, regardless of Carragher’s drinking plans, the final is expected to be an exciting one. The spotlight will be on English talents Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham as they spearhead Dortmund’s chances at glory.
As viewers tune in to watch the final, attention will also be on the glamorous spectators cheering on the players. The WAGs (wives and girlfriends) of the players will be in attendance, adding to the spectacle of the event.
Overall, Carragher’s involvement with the Dortmund fans not only showcases his love for the game but also adds an element of excitement and camaraderie. His interactions with the supporters highlight the passion and unity that football brings to fans worldwide.
