The Portuguese winger spoke to the CBS Champions League show after a fantastic performance in which he got the assist that ended up securing a spot in the semi-finals, with a 1-1 draw on the night against Napoli good enough for a 2-1 aggregate win.
Micah Richards said hello to Leao in Italian and Thierry Henry spoke in French to the former Lille man, but it would be fair to say that he had some issues with Carragher’s accent.
Carragher asked: “Rafael, obviously the big rival of yours, Inter Milan, are in the other semi-final. Would you like that, with your biggest rival in the semi-final?”
Leao replied: “I didn’t understand. Can you repeat please?”
Carragher said: “They have the same problem in the studio!
“Inter Milan are playing tomorrow… Internazionale. Would you like to play them in the semi-final?”
Richards, Henry and Abdo were in hysterics listening to Carragher’s attempts to make himself clearer before Abdo asked the question and he understood first time.
🤣 This interview with @RafaeLeao7, Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher is just brilliant ❤️️🖤pic.twitter.com/7IyZPJfLWm
