Thierry Henry has expressed his opinion that the Champions League is better off without Liverpool. He noted the absence of Man United and Newcastle at the group stage, while highlighting the potential meeting of Man City and Arsenal in the semis, should they progress in their quarter-finals. Despite fans missing Liverpool’s presence in the competition, Henry and his CBS colleagues see an upside.
The CBS coverage, branded as the full pack of TNT Sports, includes a wide range of sports and events such as cycling, tennis, snooker, motorsports, the Premier League, and exclusive UEFA Champions League coverage. Additionally, it offers access to NBA, Premiership Rugby, MotoGP, boxing, UFC, WWE, and more for a subscription fee of £30.99 per month. During a discussion, Henry humorously alluded to Jamie Carragher’s passionate behavior in the studio when Liverpool plays, stating that it’s “better” without Liverpool in the Champions League, resulting in a more relaxed atmosphere and less screaming.
Carragher, in response, noted that CBS covers the Europa League and expressed his interest in working on the final if given the opportunity. As the discussion continued, the question arose about whether the absence of Liverpool in the Champions League was missed. The looming prospect of Liverpool returning to the European football’s top table, in contention with Man City and Arsenal for the championship, added to the intrigue.
