The situation was uncomfortable for Amazon Prime Video presenters, who had to apologize for the soccer player they had invited to the studio as an expert. They were shocked by what she said, they didn't believe it.
The footballer shocked the presenters by swearing on air
It was difficult to rationally explain what happened to Manchester City from the 75th minute of the match against Feyenoord Rotterdam. It seemed that the English champion would have the situation fully under control until the end of the match, but suddenly he gave up a three-goal lead. Instead of a victory, there was only a draw for “The Citizens”. Out of five matches in this edition of the Champions League, the English won only two.
Gael Clichy, Stuart Pearce and Josephine Henning, a former Arsenal player, appeared in the Amazon studio after the match. She is the most talked about in the British media due to a linguistic slip-up on air.
Analyzing the meeting, the German woman said: “The situation is… I'm sorry, but I have to say it – a bit of shit,” using an English vulgarity. Studio host Gabby Logan immediately looked at Henning in shock. It was a moment of confusion for everyone.
The German realized that she had made a mistake. – Gabby looks at me like she's going to say something like, “Oh my God, she really said that.” – she turned the situation into a joke. The presenter immediately apologized to the viewers.
Henning continued her analysis and assessed that Manchester City's crisis may be due to the players' mental problems. – You can't deny that it's a mental health issue. As Gael said earlier, they reacted carelessly to the events on the pitch. They wanted more, but it wasn't necessary, she commented.
After Tuesday's matches, Manchester City is only 15th in the Champions League table. After Wednesday's matches, it may find itself in the bottom half, i.e. below 18th position.
