Carragher and Henry in discussion on CBS Sports

Jamie Carragher predicted there will never be another Champions League winner from smaller nations like Scotland – before Thierry Henry warned him not to make 'statements' that could come back to bite him.

PSG annihilated Inter 5-0 to win the trophy last night and, incredibly, it was only the second time a team from France had won the Champions League or European Cup.

Marseille's victory in 1993 had stood alone as the only French success in the competition leaving them trailing well behind the rest of the Big Five nations – with Spain, England, Italy and Germany boasting 55 between them.

Prior to PSG's win they were in unwelcome company as one of four nations with only one to their name.

Celtic, famously, are the only Scottish team to win the big one, the famous Lisbon Lions win in 1967 the proudest moment in their history and one that is unlikely to be repeated.

Outside of that only Red Star Belgrade from the former Yugoslavia and Steaua Bucharest of Romania can boast bringing home their country's sole European Cup.

The pre-match discussion centred around whether PSG would be able to break France out of that bracked, and Carragher, speaking on CBS Sports, said: “The big thing when you look at that stats table, France are alongside Scotland, the former Yugoslavia, and Romania.

Those three countries, I am quite confident, will never win a Champions League again.”

That's when Arsenal legend Henry cut in: "Don’t make statements!"

But Carragher clarified: “No, I just don’t see that.

France produces some of the best footballers in the world.

It’s unacceptable that they only have one Champions League winner.”

PSG did in the end win a second Champions League for France, and in some style.

Desire Doue was the star of the show with two goals and an assist as Inter struggled to even lay a glove on the dominant French champions, who will be hoping to rack up the European honours in the years ahead and fire France up the medal table.
