Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards Mock Peter Schmeichel After Manchester United’s Champions League Exit

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel became the target of Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards’ banter following his old side’s Champions League exit. Manchester United lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, resulting in them finishing fourth in their group and missing out on the Europa League as well. This disappointing result left fans with nothing to be happy about ahead of their upcoming match against Liverpool.

Carragher and Richards Sing Mocking Song at Schmeichel

While on duty for CBS at Old Trafford, Schmeichel had to endure Carragher and Richards belting out the song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” at him. Thierry Henry couldn’t help but cover his face at the cringeworthy antics, but Schmeichel took it in stride and smiled along. He commented, “It’s not a lot of fun here at Old Trafford, for sure.”

A Painful Campaign for Schmeichel

Schmeichel, regarded as one of football’s greatest ever goalkeepers, had to witness a painful campaign from Manchester United while covering their European exploits for the US audience. The team’s defense was far from their glory days under Alex Ferguson, conceding 15 goals in six games, which is the highest-ever total for an English team in the group stages.

Despite the disappointment, Schmeichel remained professional and handled the banter from Carragher and Richards with grace. He continues to be a respected figure in the football world.
