CBS pundits break show protocol after bringing up subject they were told not to mention

The iconic CBS punditry team have been at it again, causing absolute chaos on air.

As usual, Kate Abdo was joined by Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards during their Champions League coverage on Tuesday (16 April).

PSG and Borussia Dortmund have gone through to the Champions League semi-finals as they beat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid respectively, over two legs.

Mbappe was on target twice for PSG, in what turned out to be a 6-4 aggregate win.

Meanwhile, the German club overturned a 2-1 deficit from the first leg to beat Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate.

Now, during CBS' coverage of the games, it seems that the pundit team broke a protocol, live on air.

It all started when Carragher asked Abdo if she works on Thursday evenings, in which the presenter replied: "I don't believe it's in the contract."

Carragher said: "She always takes it back to the contract," as Abdo responded: "Am I the one that always takes it back to the contract?"

The former Liverpool defender hit back with: "You're alright, you've signed!"

Things took an awkward turn as Richards exaggeratedly looked back at Henry, whose contact is reportedly expiring at the end of this year.

Alongside punditry, the Arsenal legend is currently the manager of the France Under-21s side.

He is set to coach the U23s at the Paris Olympics this summer.

"Ey! Why are you looking at me like this?" Henry replied, as Richards asked: "Are you signed and sealed? Is the ink not dry yet?"

Abdo then revealed to the team that they really shouldn't be talking about contract stuff on air.

"You know they've [CBS] specifically asked us to stay clear of the contract talk on air," she said.

This comes after Abdo's ex-boxer boyfriend sending a brutal warning to Carragher over his controversial joke aimed at the couple.

Again, during UCL coverage, Carragher was wearing an Arsenal top on and suggested that Abdo should wear it.

The Manchester United fan responded: "No, I'm loyal."

Carragher then made a bizarre joke about Abdo's relationship with American boxing trainer, Malik Scott.

"Loyal to who? Not to Malik," Carragher said, bringing everyone on set to a complete silence.

Describing Carra as her middle brother, Abdo said a day later: "Does he go too far sometimes? Absolutely. But does he apologise? Yes he does.

"But we all have that one annoying family member that we still love and accept."

The 38-3 ex-boxer broke his silence a few weeks ago, telling Lord Ping: "As long as Kate is happy, I have no problem.

"Now if he makes Kate upset then I have a serious problem and he'll get a call from me, and if he doesn't pick up my call I'll show up in a physical manner for him."
