After watching a highlight of Mbappe score against AC Milan, Richards decided to copy the French star’s celebration.

After pulling off the move, host Kate Abdo can be heard saying: “Are the trousers still intact?”

To which Richards then realises what has happened as he tries to cover up the mistake with the help of Jamie Carragher.

Carragher could then said: “I am not sure who is being cancelled, but someone is.”
