FOOTBALL fans couldn’t quite believe their eyes when Micah Richards crashed David Beckham’s brand new Champions League watch-along show on Paramount+.
Richards took the time to poke his head onto the set of Beckham’s new show ‘David Beckham & Friends’, a star-studded watch-along where the Real Madrid and Manchester United icon watches football with his Hollywood pals.
Becks went big for the first episode of his new show, inviting iconic movie director Guy Ritchie and Hollywood actor Stanley Tucci to join him and Kate Abdo in the studio for Inter Milan vs Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.
And as if that wasn’t an entertaining enough concept, Micah Richards made sure to pop his head in from the CBS Sports studio to give fans even more to enjoy.
The ex Man City and England defender introduced himself to Beckham, Guy Ritchie and Stanley Tucci, before stopping for a quick chat and bizarrely gifting Becks a jar of homemade honey for his belated birthday present.
And Richards even sat down on the football legend’s lap in the hilarious cameo.
Fans couldn’t believe the incredible crossover and took to social media to react.
One wrote: “THIS DAVID BECKHAM AND FRIENDS LIVE IS INCREDIBLE
“Who put Stanley Tucci in a room with Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher to watch the football??”
While another added: “Stanley Tucci is AMAZED by the presence of Micah Richards and I’m in tears.”
A third was in disbelief, commenting: “Just tuned into the Beckham and Friends broadcast and Micah Richards is sat on Beckham’s lap engrossed in conversation with Stanley Tucci lmfao”
And a fourth joked: “This UCL match is SO GOOD but I’m so distracted because AMAZING things are happening on the Beckham & Friends Watch Along Live Show with Micah Richards lol”.
It wasn’t just the hilarious moments between football icons and Hollywood megastars that grabbed everyone’s attention, but also the blockbuster football too.
Becks and his buddies were treated to an all-time great Champions League semi-final as Inter Milan needed extra-time to secure a 4-3 second-leg win over Barcelona to book a space in the final.
Inter had thrown away a two goal lead, trailing 3-2 before 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi scored in the third minute of injury time to take it to extra time.
Substitute Davide Frattesi then completed the turnaround in the 99th minute to send the San Siro into a frenzy and Inter into their second Champions League final in three years with a 7-6 aggregate victory.
The Italians will face the winner of Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal at the Allianz Arena in Munich later this month.
