Alessandro Del Piero had Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards in tears last night on the CBS Sports Golazo show with his impression of Jamie Carragher.
The Golazo desk has quickly become one of the most popular crews in all of sport thanks to the chemistry between Abdo, Henry, Carragher and Richards. Last year, Carragher's interview with AC Milan's Rafael Leao went viral for a number of reasons. Carragher asked Leao how he'd feel about facing Inter Milan, but because of some connection issues... and perhaps Carragher's scouse accent, the conversation was derailed a bit.
Carragher posed the question again, but swapped out 'Inter Milan' for the club's proper name: Internazionale. The entire desk was in tears and it's become a bit of a running joke. How could Leao understand through all the issues going on the difference between Inter Milan and Internazionale? "That's the proper name! Internazionale," Carragher said. It's one of the most popular segments in the show's run.
Fast forward a year, ADP joined the desk for the first leg of the Borussia Dortmund vs. Paris Saint-Germain semi-final. Internazionale came up on the desk and the Juventus legend couldn't help but give a Carragher impression a try. Check out the clip below.

First, Henry takes a dig at Carragher with a higher-pitched impression. Then, ADP gets a big laugh out of the desk by mimicking the Liverpool legend. Richards wanted ADP to say Internazionale again in Jamie's accent, but he clearly didn't pick up on it with the first attempt. "I'm trying to do it in a Jamie accent," ADP remarked before getting a bigger laugh out of the second try.
ADP was a welcomed addition to the desk and hopefully comes back before the end of the competition, or even at the start of next year's campaign.
The Golazo desk will be back next week for the second legs of Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain vs. Borussia Dortmund.
