Jamie Carragher has revealed why Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique snubbed him ahead of the Champions League final.

Enrique led PSG to their first ever Champions League trophy after they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 at the Allianz Arena.

Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring before a Desire Doue brace, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and 19-year-old Senny Mayulu firing in second-half goals as PSG recorded the biggest ever win in a Champions League final. 

The win saw them become just the second French side to be crowned European champions, behind Marseille in 1993.

And Enrique became the second ever manager to win a treble with two clubs. 

The Spaniard, who had already guided the Parisians to two domestic trophies, refused to speak to Carragher or CBS ahead of the game.

The former England and Liverpool defender, who was part of the broadcaster’s coverage for Saturday’s clash, admitted that Enrique wouldn’t talk to him because he proudly sported a Dortmund scarf during last season’s Champions League semi-final.

PSG were dumped out of the competition by the German side at that stage last year, losing both legs 1-0. 

And Carragher donned Dortmund attire as he joined supporters in the Yellow Wall during the first leg at the Signal Iduna Park, later admitting to drinking eight pints on the night.

After the match he kept the scarf on as he entered the mixed zone, to the ire of Enrique.  

‘Luis Enrique, at the moment, won’t speak to us,’ Carragher told It’s Called Soccer podcast.

‘Because last season, I was in Dortmund when his team lost to Borussia Dortmund.

‘I was in the mixed zone with a Borussia Dortmund scarf on, so that didn’t go down particularly well with Luis.

Enrique later stormed out of a post-match interview with Carragher after objecting to his scarf.

Carragher managed to get through a hilarious Q&A with Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho, but his planned discussion with the PSG boss was abruptly halted when the Spaniard took issue with the Dortmund scarf.

Enrique’s snub was revealed by Peter Schmeichel, who was also on punditry duty for CBS at the Westfalenstadion.

‘In all seriousness, he’s in the sin bin.’ The United legend said. 

‘Seriously, he’s upset every person here. First of all, were supposed to have Luis Enrique.

Last year, PSG knocked out Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the competition and Enrique was quick to take a light-hearted dig at CBS’ pundits, who had predicted a victory for the Catalans. 

‘I’m really upset with all of you,’ he joked.

‘I watched on YouTube, all of you predicted that Barcelona were going through to the next phase.

‘Nobody believed in our possibilities. How sad I am, how sad I am.’
