Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra gatecrashed a live TV broadcast to reveal how a bust-up with a Manchester City staff member stemmed from him claiming his old rivals ’s*** themselves’ when they blew their advantage against Real Madrid last season.
Pep Guardiola’s men lost two stoppage time goals in the Bernabeu last to miss out on a place in the Champions League final against Liverpool but got revenge on the Spanish giants with a swashbuckling display against the men from Madrid at the Ethiad as they blew Carlo Ancelotti’s men away with a 4-0 romp to secure a place against Inter Milan in Istanbul.
Evra was involved in a heated exchange at full-time with Guardiola and his assistant assistant Manel Estiarte even having to calm the situation down. The Frenchman spent eight trophy-laden years at Old Trafford and he walked onto the pitchside set of American channel CBS where presenter Kate Abdo was presenting. Jamie Carragher, Evra’s former France team-mate Thierry Henry and Micah Richards were discussing the game.
After welcoming him onto the panel, Carragher asked :did you have a little bit of trouble before with a Man City fan on the side of the pitch?”
Evra said: “He was looking at me saying ‘This is for you’. I got closer and asked why he was shouting at me. He said it’s because I said last year on TV that they s*** themselves and thats’s why they lost to Real Madrid. And I said this year they didn’t s*** themselves. That’s the truth, I’m an honest man. And he apologised."
