Jamie Carragher revealed that his wife said he went 'too far' with his jibe at Micah Richards' new haircut as they co-hosted Champions League coverage. On Tuesday night, Carragher lined up alongside Richards, Thierry Henry and Kate Scott to once again form a famous quartet on CBS' coverage of the Champions League.

It was the first show of the year as Liverpool took on Lille in the Champions League league phase, with their 2-1 win meaning they have now qualified for the last-16. But the focus wasn't just on football on CBS' show. Almost immediately, Richards' look was called into question as the crew addressed the elephant in the room.

And Carragher wasn't willing to hold back in his analysis of the look, issuing a brutal rating and leaving his co-pundit in stitches. While Carragher and his co-hosts laughed at Richards' expense, just one day later, the former Liverpool defender revealed how his wife disapproved of his jokes.

Speaking on CBS Sports, Richards said: ;You ruined my confidence yesterday Jamie!'. Carragher then responded: 'Can I say something? My wife Nicola told me last night [that] I went too far'. 'Is that what she said?!,' Richards said in disbelief. Carragher responded with a nod before shaking hands with the former Man City defender.
