Revealed: Why Enrique is set to snub Carragher and CBS ahead of UCL final

  /  autty

Jamie Carragher has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is set to snub him ahead of the Champions League final.

Enrique is looking to lift PSG's first ever Champions League trophy and faces Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena.

A win would see them become just the second French side to be crowned European champions.

But the Spaniard, who has already guided the Parisians to a domestic double, is likely to refuse to speak to Carragher or CBS ahead of the game.

The former England and Liverpool defender, who is part of the broadcaster's coverage for Saturday's clash, admitted that Enrique won't talk to him because he proudly sported a Dortmund scarf during last season's Champions League semi-final.

PSG were dumped out of the competition by the German side at that stage last year, losing both legs 1-0.

And Carragher donned Dortmund attire as he joined supporters in the Yellow Wall during the first leg at the Signal Iduna Park, later admitting to drinking eight pints on the night.

After the match he kept the scarf on as he entered the mixed zone, to the ire of Enrique.

'Luis Enrique, at the moment, won't speak to us,' Carragher told It's Called Soccer podcast.

'Because last season, I was in Dortmund when his team lost to Borussia Dortmund.

'I was in the mixed zone with a Borussia Dortmund scarf on, so that didn't go down particularly well with Luis.

Enrique later stormed out of a post-match interview with Carragher after objecting to his scarf.

Carragher managed to get through a hilarious Q&A with Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho, but his planned discussion with the PSG boss was abruptly halted when the Spaniard took issue with the Dortmund scarf.

Enrique's snub was revealed by Peter Schmeichel, who was also on punditry duty for CBS at the Westfalenstadion.

'In all seriousness, he's in the sin bin.' The United legend said.

'Seriously, he's upset every person here. First of all, were supposed to have Luis Enrique.

Last year, PSG knocked out Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the competition and Enrique was quick to take a light-hearted dig at CBS' pundits, who had predicted a victory for the Catalans.

'I'm really upset with all of you,' he joked.

'I watched on YouTube, all of you predicted that Barcelona were going through to the next phase.

'Nobody believed in our possibilities. How sad I am, how sad I am.'

Enrique's side have already knocked out Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa out of the Champions League and are just one game away from making history in Munich.
