Thierry Henry's comments about Valentine's Day in 2023 left his co-panellists Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher in splits. The trio are a part of the CBS panel for UEFA Champions League matches.
They share a friendly camaraderie, with presenter Kate Scott acting as the moderator. In 2023, when asked by Scott about his plans for Valentine's Day and if he expects to receive any gifts when he goes home, Henry responded (as per Sport Bible):
“Well, hopefully when I go home something might be there.”
This response from Henry sent shockwaves of laughter across the room, with Carragher even leaping out of his chair in delight. It was apparent that Henry's answer had gone down well with the other two panellists. However, the Frenchman was quick to refute the innuendo and added:
“No, I’m talking about flowers and chocolates. Your minds are wrong!”
