Streaming sensation iShowSpeed crashed the CBS Sports post-game show and ripped his pants after challenging analyst Jamie Carragher to a race.
As Carragher reacted to Liverpool's smash-and-grab 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in Wednesday's Champions League clash, Speed was invited into the studio. After meeting Carragher, host Kate Abdo, and fellow analysts Thierry Henry and Micah Richards, Speed proposed a race with the former Liverpool defender.
Speed, a 20-year-old online sensation who is known for his lightning pace, unsurprisingly beat the 47-year-old analyst, although Carragher did his best to shove him out of the way. After jumping across the line, Speed quickly pulled up and revealed a major tear in his dress pants.

After laughing off the incident, Speed returned to his seat in the CBS studio and then challenged Carragher to an arm wrestle. This time, the former Liverpool defender made light work of the young streamer and beat him on several occasions.
Speed's appearance on CBS ended with a backflip off the table, before the coverage concluded. Speed had already met Henry recently, after playing in the 2025 Match for Hope charity game in Qatar alongside the former soccer star.
It was Henry who invited Speed to make an appearance, with the streamer set to fly to London for another charity game on March 8. Popular YouTube group the 'Sidemen' have sold out Wembley Stadium, in what will be their sixth charity soccer game.
During an exchange in Qatar with Henry about CBS Sports' Champions League show, Speed said: "I would love to go on that show... because we got some things to talk about."

Speed's CBS debut got off to a bad start, as a video emerged of him being refused entry into the studio. The steamer was turned away by the receptionist, before leaving the premises to make a phone call and seek help.
Eventually, Speed made his way inside, but the embarrassment continued as he ripped his pants live on air. Despite this, it was a chaotic sports television debut for Speed, matching the usual pace of his popular videos, which has seen him gain 36 million subscribers on YouTube and 3.5 billion views.
It was a bizarre ending to a freak Liverpool game, which saw the Premier League leaders dominated for 90 minutes in Paris. Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker made 10 saves and admitted that it was the greatest performance of his career, as Harvey Elliott became the hero.
Elliott replaced Mohamed Salah after 86 minutes and scored the only goal of the game with his first touch. Elliott found space out wide and was assisted by Darwin Nunez, who also came off the Liverpool bench.
