Dumfries roasts Richards after Inter-Barça draw, makes him leave studio

Denzel Dumfries sparked hysterics in the CBS studio during his interview in the wake of Inter Milan's 3-3 draw with Barcelona on Wednesday night.

The Serie A star had played a key role in helping his side return to the San Siro with an equal share of the spoils, netting twice at the Estadio Olimpic Lluis Companys.

The first goal helped to double the visitors' lead after Marcus Thuram opened the scoring inside the first two minutes of match action.

The second came the other side of the break, with Dumfries the best in the box to head the ball past Wojciech Szczesny to make it 3-2.

Ultimately Inter were unable to clinch victory despite having the lead twice, but spirits were still high when the player joined the US network's Champions League coverage for his post-match interview.

After going through details from the tie, Micah Richards was keen to ask Dumfries a more personal question - with his preamble leaving his co-hosts Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo in fits of laughter.

'I've been called over the years Denzel Washington, I just have to ask - were you named after the famous Denzel Washington?' Richards said.

When Dumfries replied in the affirmative, Richards tried another question, asking the Netherlands international if he was a fan of their programme.

'Of course I like the show, I like how you do it,' Dumfries responded.

Richards followed up: 'Who's your favourite on the show?'

Dumfries admitted that although the decision was 'tough', Richards was his favourite.

But unwilling to let Richards entirely off the hook, Dumfries teased the former Manchester City man, adding: 'But remember what Marcus (Thuram) said. Your suit was a bit small. Sorry my friend.'

Dumfries' lighthearted jibe prompted Richards to pretend to flounce out of the studio in a huff, while his co-presenter laughed at the defender's dig.

Earlier in the season, Thuram had deemed Richards' suit on the night 'too tight' during his post-match interview after beating Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate - which had prompted a similar response from the ex-professional.
