MICAH RICHARDS was left in stitches after he was offered a half-and-half shirt in a tongue-in-cheek moment while covering the Champions League.
Richards, 37, linked up with CBS Sports to cover Tuesday’s match between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
However, the pundit didn’t join Kate Scott, Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry at the studio as he went to the Emirates and saw the Gunners thrash Atletico 4-0.
And as he stood in front of the camera, the broadcasters gave the former defender a special gift.
Richards exclaimed enthusiastically as he was handed his present: “Ok, you got a gift for me! What have we got here?”
And that was when it was revealed the former England international was holding a half-and-half shirt.

And the kit donned the colours of his beloved Manchester City as well as Arsenal, for whom he has previously expressed his affection.
Richards said: “Oh my God, half and half shirt! Guys, what are you trying to do to me…?”
Fans were left in stitches and stormed social media after the hilarious segment.
One fan tweeted: “I think its looks pretty good.”
Another wrote: “Love Micah.”
A third exclaimed: “LOL.”
This fan said: “Looking good.”
And another said: “Wow!”
Richards rose to prominence as a player in 2005 with City and went on to win the Premier League title in 2012 as well as the FA Cup the year before.
The former centre-back amassed a total of nine goals and 11 assists in 245 appearances with Man City, where he played for 10 years.
But Richards also revealed in February he also supports another team when he’s off air… and that’s none other than Arsenal.
