Micah Richards mocked by CBS presenter Kate Abdo in Champions League jibe

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards was the victim of a savage joke regarding UEFA Champions League medals made live on air.

The CBS Sports panellist was mocked by presenter Kate Abdo when compared with both Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry, who won European titles with Liverpool and Barcelona respectively.

Richards only made five appearances in the competition during his career, with Abdo keen to remind the pro-turned-pundit about a major difference between the three players on the panel.

Abdo said: "[I'm] Joined by the Champions League winner with Barcelona Thierry Henry, Champions League winner with Liverpool, Jamie Carragher and the man with five appearances in the Champions League, Micah Richards."

Richards was quick to respond, seemingly left dumbfounded by the brutal remark made by his colleague. He responded: "That's cold-blooded that is, Kate. We was a new team. For the ones that could do it now, we was building them foundations."
