Jamie Carragher drops Celtic Champions League claim that gets Thierry Henry saying 'don't make statements'
PSG started last night in unwelcome company but shattered through the barrier with a 5-0 win over Inter Jamie Carragher predicted there will never be another Champions League winner from smaller nations like Scotland – before Thierry Henry warned him not to make 'statements' that could come back to bite him. PSG annihilated Inter 5-0 to win the trophy last night and, incredibly, it was only the second time a team from France had won the Champions League or European Cup. Marseille's victory in 1993 had stood alone as the only French success in the competition leaving them trailing well behind the rest of the Big Five nations – with Spain, England, Italy and Germany boasting 55 between them. Prior to PSG's win they were in unwelcome company as one of four nations with only one to their name. Celtic, famously, are the only Scottish team to win the big one, the famous Lisbon Lions win in 1967 the proudest moment in their history and one that is unlikely to be repeated. Outside of that only Red Star Belgrade from the former Yugoslavia and Steaua Bucharest of Romania can boast bringing home their country's sole European Cup. The pre-match discussion centred around whether PSG would be able to break France out of that bracked, and Carragher, speaking on CBS Sports, said: 'The big thing when you look at that stats table, France are alongside Scotland, the former Yugoslavia, and Romania. Those three countries, I am quite confident, will never win a Champions League again.' That's when Arsenal legend Henry cut in: "Don't make statements!" But Carragher clarified: 'No, I just don't see that. France produces some of the best footballers in the world. Probably one of the most dominant nations in the world. It's unacceptable that they only have one Champions League winner.' PSG did in the end win a second Champions League for France, and in some style. Desire Doue was the star of the show with two goals and an assist as Inter struggled to even lay a glove on the dominant French champions, who will be hoping to rack up the European honours in the years ahead and fire France up the medal table.

Revealed: Why PSG boss Luis Enrique is set to snub Jamie Carragher and CBS ahead of Champions League final
Jamie Carragher has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is set to snub him ahead of the Champions League final. Enrique is looking to lift PSG's first ever Champions League trophy and faces Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena. A win would see them become just the second French side to be crowned European champions. But the Spaniard, who has already guided the Parisians to a domestic double, is likely to refuse to speak to Carragher or CBS ahead of the game. The former England and Liverpool defender, who is part of the broadcaster's coverage for Saturday's clash, admitted that Enrique won't talk to him because he proudly sported a Dortmund scarf during last season's Champions League semi-final. PSG were dumped out of the competition by the German side at that stage last year, losing both legs 1-0. And Carragher donned Dortmund attire as he joined supporters in the Yellow Wall during the first leg at the Signal Iduna Park, later admitting to drinking eight pints on the night. After the match he kept the scarf on as he entered the mixed zone, to the ire of Enrique. 'Luis Enrique, at the moment, won't speak to us,' Carragher told It's Called Soccer podcast. 'Because last season, I was in Dortmund when his team lost to Borussia Dortmund. 'I was in the mixed zone with a Borussia Dortmund scarf on, so that didn't go down particularly well with Luis. Enrique later stormed out of a post-match interview with Carragher after objecting to his scarf. Carragher managed to get through a hilarious Q&A with Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho, but his planned discussion with the PSG boss was abruptly halted when the Spaniard took issue with the Dortmund scarf. Enrique's snub was revealed by Peter Schmeichel, who was also on punditry duty for CBS at the Westfalenstadion. 'In all seriousness, he's in the sin bin.' The United legend said. 'Seriously, he's upset every person here. First of all, were supposed to have Luis Enrique. Last year, PSG knocked out Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the competition and Enrique was quick to take a light-hearted dig at CBS' pundits, who had predicted a victory for the Catalans. 'I'm really upset with all of you,' he joked. 'I watched on YouTube, all of you predicted that Barcelona were going through to the next phase. 'Nobody believed in our possibilities. How sad I am, how sad I am.' Enrique's side have already knocked out Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa out of the Champions League and are just one game away from making history in Munich.

Jamie Carragher details real reason PSG boss Luis Enrique refuses to talk to him
Luis Enrique will lead Paris Saint-Germain into their Champions League final against Inter Milan on Saturday but don't expect him to be celebrating with Jamie Carragher if they go on to win Jamie Carragher has detailed the reason why Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique refuses to speak to him. Enrique's PSG have made it all the way to the Champions League final after powering their way through the knockout phase. It's one step further than they managed last season, as the Parisians were knocked out by Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals, losing both games 1-0. During the first leg in Germany, Carragher watched the game alongside Dortmund's supporters in their famous Yellow Wall at the Signal Iduna Park. The Liverpool legend loved his time so much that went on to join them for a beer before the final against Real Madrid at Wembley. While his jaunts went viral, Enrique didn't see the funny side, as Carragher has now explained. Ahead of Saturday's final between PSG and Inter Milan in Munich, the pundit was asked to name his favourite post-match interviewee while working for US broadcaster CBS Sports. "Luis Enrique, at the moment, won't speak to us," Carragher told the It's Called Soccer podcast. "Because last season, I was in Dortmund when his team lost to Borussia Dortmund - PSG lost - and I was in the mixed zone with a Borussia Dortmund scarf on, so that didn't go down particularly well with Luis." Enrique's snub was first revealed by former Manchester United goalkeeper and fellow CBS pundit Peter Schmeichel, who said of Carragher while in Dortmund: "In all seriousness, he's in the sin bin. "Seriously, he's upset every person here. First of all, were supposed to have Luis Enrique. And he came in and said, 'Hello' and then he left because Jamie was wearing a Dortmund scarf. "Then because we took Jadon Sancho in, the press officer from Dortmund got a bit cross with us because that was not on the list. We've been very naughty. And I hope it's been good content." Who'll win the Champions League final - PSG or Inter Milan? Give us your score prediction in the comments section. Enrique has spoken to CBS' pitch-side reporters before and after matches this season, and will do on Saturday when PSG face Inter at the Allianz Arena. Carragher doesn't hold it against the ex-Barcelona boss either, hailing his side when they knocked his beloved Liverpool out in March. "The best team won," he confessed. "I thought the left-back [Nuno Mendes] against [Mo] Salah was outstanding again. He's been brilliant in the two games. I think the two midfield players, Vitinha and [Joao] Neves, were brilliant.
