Jamie Carragher hilariously mocks Peter Schmeichel with a can of 7UP

Jamie Carragher hilariously mocked Peter Schmeichel on live TV on Tuesday.

The former Liverpool defender was still reveling in the Reds' 7-0 win over Manchester United during CBS' live Champions League coverage.

Schmeichel, who was also on the broadcast, is a United legend, having made over 400 appearances for the side in his playing career.

The former goalkeeper was a pundit for the game between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.

Carragher, all smiles, mocked Schmeichel with a can of 7UP on his desk and regular references to the number seven on the show.

Speaking to Schmeichel, who was at the ground with Carragher in the studio, Carragher said: 'Peter, we're getting to that stage now with the Champions League where we're getting into March, the seventh of March, for me it feels really important now.

'These games are cut throat, as I said, into March on the seventh, how important does it feel being at the Bridge?'

He added: 'Jude Bellingham's there, he's a superstar. We feel he's going to move on in the summer, what type of price tag are we talking about? We feel it will have to start with a seven and you go from there.'

With Schmeichel aware of the gag, but the presenter none the wiser, Carragher continued: 'Peter, you're going to be at AC Milan tomorrow, how big a problem would that be if they go out of the Champions League?

'We are talking about the seven-time winners, I mean seven times winning the Champions League.'

Schmeichel, having previously suggested he couldn't hear Carragher's comments, finally replied: 'Are we seven points ahead of you?'

Carragher added: 'Don't worry, we're enjoying our 7UP!'

Chelsea came from behind to win on the night, scoring twice to defeat Dortmund 3-2 on aggregate.

Raheem Sterling scored in the first half before Kai Havertz netted the winner from the spot in the second period.

There was controversy around the penalty with Havertz initially hitting the post before it was retaken.

Several Dortmund players were adjudged to have encroached in the area when the kick was taken, and Havertz scored on the second attempt.
