The enemy of my enemy is my friend? 😅 Carragher wants to cheer for Dortmund, but Manchester City bans him from the stands

In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City defeated Dortmund 4-1 at home. Before the game, the famous sports commentator and former Liverpool player Carragher marched with Dortmund fans to the stadium where the Manchester City team was located. He wanted to enter Dortmund's visiting team stand, but was blocked by Manchester City and UEFA. The Daily Mail exclusively reveals why.

Carragher originally wanted to join the ranks of Dortmund fans and go to the away team stand to watch their Champions League match against Manchester City, but his wish was blocked due to concerns that this might cause riots.

"Daily Mail Sports" exclusively explained the reason. Former Liverpool defender and current commentator Carragher is very eager to go to the Etihad Stadium to cheer for Borussia Dortmund, but both UEFA and Manchester City expressed dissatisfaction and rejected CBS Sports' request.

Although UEFA and Manchester City both declined to comment, it is understood that both parties quickly issued rebuttal statements. UEFA believed that the commentator's media qualifications were not sufficient to allow him to leave the media area and enter the stands; while Manchester City believed that it was not wise for a former Liverpool player to appear in the away team's stands and support their opponents and was likely to cause problems.

In fact, Carragher had behaved like this as early as 2024. During Dortmund's semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, Carragher spent a drunken night in the yellow stands of Dortmund, which was widely known.
