Jamie Carragher was barely unable to contain his delight as Liverpool beat RB Leipzig to progress into the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday night.
The Reds legend watched the game and provided analysis for CBS Sports as he was filmed in the studio singing and cheering after goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane knocked out Julien Nagelsmann's side.
Rubbing his hands together and smiling in delight at the end of the game, Carragher sang: "We’re going to Istanbul, we’re going to Istanbul. And now you’re gonna believe us and now you’re gonna believe us!"
Jurgen Klopp's men will be looking forward to the Champions League quarter-finals draw next Friday, with the European Cup final taking place on May 29 at the Ataturk Stadium in the Turkish capital.
Liverpool have been to the ground before, of course, during the 2005 European Cup final in which Carragher played as Rafa Benitez's men fought back from three goals down to claim victory against AC Milan following a dramatic penalty shootout.
"Ohhhhh, it’s happening! It’s happening," Carragher said with his arms aloft and cheering as the Reds claimed a 4-0 aggregate victory against Leipzig.

"We’re going to Istanbul, we’re going to Istanbul. He knows, he knows! Istanbul, it’s happening. I can feel it."
Carragher's co-presenter then asked if he was 'slightly worried' that he'd 'gone a bit early'.
"No, don’t worry!" the former Reds defender replied while revelling in the victory. "I needed a lift after watching Liverpool these last few weeks and they’ve given me it tonight."
