The tone of a broadcast shifted when it became evident that one of the pundits had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. Jamie Carragher and Peter Schmeichel were conducting post-match interviews in the mixed zone but were repeatedly warned about their noise level. Carragher, in a jolly state, disclosed to presenter Kate Abdo that he had been bought eight pints by Dortmund fans and had not eaten since 2:30pm. He joked about potentially slurring his words and shared his experiences with the fans, referring to them as a new family.
Despite the warnings, Carragher and Schmeichel continued to broadcast from the mixed zone. Schmeichel jokingly remarked about their noise level being too high and how everything they were saying would be broadcast globally. The banter continued with Abdo making fun of Carragher, and Carragher playfully talking back. Schmeichel also added to the light atmosphere, mentioning his efforts to build a good relationship with UEFA staff and jokingly blaming Carragher for jeopardizing it after drinking eight pints.
