WHAT HAPPENED?

Kate Abdo, who recently married boxer Malik Scott and now goes by the name Kate Scott, had a brief on-air slip during the Champions League broadcast. In the midst of the excitement surrounding the tournament’s return, she accidentally introduced herself using her maiden name, a small but noticeable error that quickly became the talking point of the night.

WHAT HENRY SAID

Following Scott’s on-air mix-up, Micah Richards immediately seized the moment with a humorous remark, asking, “What happened there, did you have something in your throat?”

Trying not to get too involved in the light-hearted teasing, Thierry Henry playfully hid his face behind his notes, sparking even more laughter among those watching.

“Leave me alone!” he quipped, adding to the amusement in the studio.

Their warm camaraderie and mutual respect have become a key reason why the CBS Sports Champions League coverage is so well-loved by fans.
