JAMIE CARRAGHER and Micah Richards incredibly stormed off set during Alisson’s live TV interview.
The Liverpool goalkeeper spoke to the media following his stunning performance away at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
The Brazilian, 32, made nine saves to keep a clean sheet in the French capital.
Harvey Elliott secured a very late smash-and-grab winner just 46 seconds after coming on to take a 1-0 lead back to Anfield.
But it was Alisson who was rightfully named man of the match – and tasked with being interviewed by the broadcasters.
And Carragher and Richards were up to their usual antics on CBS Sports.
Peter Schmeichel conducted the interview with Alisson from the Parc des Princes while Carragher, Richards and Thierry Henry joined host Kate Abdo in the studio.
Richards went on the charm offensive – but it soon backfired.
The ex-Manchester City right-back said: “Have you seen our show, Alisson? Have you seen our show?
“Have you seen the clips online?”
A laughing Alisson confirmed: “Yes, I did, I did.”
Then the very excitable Richards responded: “Oh OK you did, perfect.
“So who is your favourite on the show?”
Richards then even added a few words in Alisson’s native Portuguese.
But the flamboyant pundit was left disappointed by the response.
The keeper replied: “Well, well, nice Portuguese, by the way.
“I think I will have to say as I think he played the biggest part out of the players here, Thierry. Legend.”
Ex-Liverpool defender Carragher shouted back: “Alisson!”
But Alisson continued: “When I was growing up, I watched a lot of Arsenal in the early 2000s when he was playing.
“So it was the only team that was showing on the open TV in Brazil.”
But as Alisson gave his explanation, Carra and Richards had seen enough – and silently got out of their chairs and walked off in a hilarious protest.
Giggling and smug Henry chipped in with “obrigado” – meaning “thank you” in Portuguese – as he was left in the studio alongside Abdo.
Schmeichel could not help but break into laughter, too, as the chaos unfolded.
And the brilliant moment went down a storm with fans on social media.
One said: “All football fans will say Henry, people that watch it just for the entertainment will say Micah.”
Another wrote: “Why does Titi gets all the love?”
A third added: “Liverpool players don’t even rate their legend imagine lol.”
A fourth joked: “All I know is that @Carra23 will never be anyone’s favourite.”
And a final user quipped: “Even Alisson is an Arsenal fan.”
