Thierry Henry, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher reunited to grace CBS Sports with their presence on Tuesday and they didn't disappoint.
The trio make for brilliant TV on the American Sports network, particularly in their segment 'In The Mixer', where they give quick answers to questions from presenter Kate Abdo.
This week there was some interesting takes from all three of the Premier League legends.
Perhaps the most notable was one from Carra, who suggested that Romelu Lukaku will return to Inter in the summer, with his return to Chelsea proving to be a disaster so far.
Nevertheless, one segment from Thierry Henry also grabbed our attention and that was his stance on Ronaldo's (the Brazilian one!) name
Henry strongly declared that R9 is 'the real Ronaldo' over the Manchester United superstar.
He admitted the Brazil icon is the only player he's asked for a shirt from during his career.
Asked by Carra if he's ever asked for someone's shirt, the Arsenal legend said: “I did, Ronaldo, R9. The real one.
“Growing up, how many Ronaldo did you know when you were growing up? In the game.”
“In the game people would say he's the real one. Ronaldo is R9, Cristiano is Cristiano Ronaldo.”
Carra, Henry and Richards are in hysterics and this week was no different.
Richards claimed that he would have been a model if he hadn't been a footballer to once again erupt the studio into laughter,
But all three pundits lost it when Henry quipped he actually could have been one – only if he was a helmet model!
Richards was, unsurprisingly, in tears of laughter while the usually ice-cool Henry couldn't contain his emotions either.
Last week, Peter Schmeichel claimed United could win the Champions League this season and that also left the studio in fits.
We're hoping for more TV gold on Wednesday night, where we will find out if Schmeichel actually has a shot at being right.
The Red Devils take on Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Brazilian Ronaldo was good no doubt, but CR7 has surpassed all he gave to football with 5 balon dor and the highest goal scorer of all time. Jealousy and hatred cannot stop CR7

I just don't get it where these guys come from with R9 is the real Ronaldo n Cr7 is the false want as if R9 was the very first in the universe to get that name n it belongs to him alone.They be talking as if everything Cr7 achieved was fake.CR7 has achieved far greater than what they coulden't including R9,the only thing he got over Cr7 is World cup.These guys are just jealous of Ronaldo because they think he's like an average player that they could"ve even achieve more than him but so pethetic that they are far beneth him in terms of achievement.It pains them to admit Ronaldo is too good enough.But their opinions means nothing it doesn't change any facts.By this time,majority of them was far retired into their careers.
