Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was turned away from the away end at the Etihad Stadium during the midweek clash between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. Just 24 hours later, Carragher was in Manchester to cover City's match against Dortmund in the fourth league phase of the Champions League for CBS Sports.



However, the Daily Mail reports that Carragher tried to join Dortmund fans in the away end at the Etihad on Wednesday evening but was denied entry by both UEFA and City for several reasons. Carragher was subsequently spotted pitchside with fellow CBS Sports pundit Peter Schmeichel, discussing his journey to the Etihad with Dortmund's travelling supporters.

"It's been fantastic, we had a great walk in from Manchester city centre to the ground," Carragher told CBS Sports before kick-off on Wednesday night. "They're in full flight, and hopefully by the end of the game they're going to really enjoy themselves, and I might join them." Liverpool won 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium back in February en route to winning the Premier League title.
