The quartet was joined by special guests Khabib Nurmagomedov, and streamer IShowSpeed immediately after the final whistle. Nurmagomedov embraced each member of the crew before Abdo, 43, held out her hand in a greeting. However, the unbeaten UFC star declined the offer by holding his hand on his chest instead, with Abdo quickly reclining it and offering an apology as she welcomed him to the show.

In Islam, it is a forbidden to touch a member of the opposite sex that they are not related to. A similar incident occurred back in 2020 with fellow MMA fighter Cynthia Calvillo, who revealed that Nurmagomedov refused to directly train with her.

"But it doesn't bother me … because they're not really being directly rude to me." Kate Abdo 'subbed off' CBS Sports Champions League final coverage as new presenter leaves Micah Richards ecstatic Fans on social media praised Abdo's response to the awkward exchange with the Dagestani native. One user said: "Mad respect to Kate for understanding afterwards and issuing an apology." Another said: "Massive respect to Kate for understanding Khabib's decision and not making a fuss of it in front of other pundits." A third added: "Love how Khabib respectfully declined Kate's handshake and she respected his approach. Love that from both of them." Once that hurdle was cleared, Abdo asked the retired UFC fighter who he was supporting tonight, revealing he was there in support of PSG - despite him previously describing himself as a Real Madrid fan. In another crossover that nobody would have had on their Champions League bingo card, IShowSpeed was playfully confronted by Nurmagomedov about them possibly having a race or fight. Carragher, who hilariously tried resorting to cheating when he lost a race against Speed - real name Darren Hawkins - asked Nurmagomedov: "Do you think you could beat Speed in a fight or a race?" Nurmagomedov said he would be humble and conceded that Speed had the better of him in running, but declared he could easily outdo him in football IQ, before joking: "Don't forget, between us there is nobody right now." Abdo then suggested that Richards, ever the brunt of a few jokes on the show, was the "arm wrestling champion" of CBS. However, before the presenter - who married boxer Malik Scott last year - could finish her sentence, the ex-England international said: "No thank you." Before the match itself, Abdo was subbed out of presenting duties by colleague Anita Nneka Jones, joking she had "other friends waiting for me tonight". As Henry, Richards and Carragher groaned, Abdo pointed at Jones and added: "Look who's coming!" Carra shouted "Anita!" before screaming as footage showed Abdo's pals David Beckham and Tom Cruise hanging out the Allianz Arena. Abdo then waved as she walked off set, adding: "Bye, bye, bye." Richards asked "Is it a substitution then?" - with Abdo pausing. The former Manchester City star then guffawed as Peter Schmeichel held the fourth official's board to announce the substitution. Richards turned to Jones and bellowed: "Finally some real funny in the studio."

Paris Saint-Germain routs Inter Milan to win Champions League final for first time
The trophy that not even Lionel Messi, Neymar, or Kylian Mbappe could deliver to the French club was finally claimed by Luis Enrique, the Spanish coach who has overseen PSG's shift from the era of galactico signings to one of genuine team-building. Fitting then that Désiré Doué, the 19-year-old French forward emblematic of the club's new generation, was the chief inspiration on a balmy night. He became the third teenager to score in a Champions League final, following Patrick Kluivert and Carlos Alberto. Doue scored twice and set up another goal in little over an hour on the field before being substituted in the second half. Advertisement DÉSIRÉ DOUÉ DELIVERS A BRACE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 🇫🇷🔥 HE'S ONLY 19 YEARS OLD 🤯 — CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and substitute Senny Mayulu, the fourth teenager to ever score in a final, added to Doue's double as PSG recorded the biggest win in a final in the Champions League's 69-year history. ACHRAF HAKIMI OPENS THE SCORING FOR PSG 💥 — CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) Now PSG can truly sit alongside the royalty of European soccer. Not by virtue of turnover or merchandizing, but on the merits of its achievements on the field. The Champions League is the ultimate barometer of the continent's elite clubs and up until now PSG has been a flashy contender that always came up short. Advertisement That all changed at Allianz Arena, the home of Bayern Munich, one of the titans of Europe, and a fitting stage for PSG's crowning moment. Not least because it was against Bayern that it lost its only other Champions League final in 2020, leaving Neymar in tears in an empty stadium in Lisbon where fans were locked out because of the pandemic. On this occasion, thousands of PSG supporters were there to revel in the moment, waving flags, lighting flares and drowning out their rivals from Inter, many of whose supporters left the stadium long before the final whistle.

And when it got to the waitress-style outfit Abdo was seen back in the studio covering her eyes with apparent embarrassment. CBS posted the throwback video with the caption: "Rumor has it @kate_scott had her own Munich moments." But Abdo had to correct cries of "lederhosen" from her studio colleagues - pointing out that's the name of traditional leather breeches worn by MEN in Bavaria. 5 Abdo was 'subbed off' for Anita Nneka Jones Fans loved the memory lane montage, with one posting: "Kate Abdo looking elite!"
