Micah Richards couldn’t help but make a crude comment that left his fellow panelist angry and the CBS Sports studio stunned live on air.

The former Manchester City defender is a regular pundit for the broadcaster alongside Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher, while presenter Kate Abdo attempts to bring order to the noisy trio.

However, on Tuesday night she was undone by Richards’ witty – if slightly risky – remark when discussing French side Brest’s prospects in this year’s Champions League.

The European Cup debutants recorded a stunning 4-0 win over RB Salzburg to make it two wins from two, joining Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the group stage.

“It’s a big meeting,” said Henry, ahead of the next Ligue 1 match in the competition, which will see Xabi Alonso’s men host the Stade Francis Le Blé.

This sentence made Carragher and Richards laugh before Abdo, herself tickled by the comment, tried to return to the subject.

Only for Richards to comment: “It’s a bit unbalanced, I think.” This remark sent several members of the production team into hysterics, while Abdo covered his face to hide his laughter.

Henry, for his part, did his best to keep a straight face as he flipped through his notes, which he stared at intently.

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

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

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

Brest secured a historic 4-0 victory over RB Salzburg to make it two wins from two on their Champions League debut.
