Sports presenter Kate Abdo couldn't help but poke fun at Micah Richards during CBS' coverage of Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The quartet of Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Richards and Abdo are known for providing fans with constant laughs and on this occasion, it was no different.

Abdo, who hosts the show, introduced the panel of football experts one by one, yet instead of referencing Richards by name - the presenter suggested the ex-Man City man looked like a famous TV character.

Addressing the three pundits in the room, Abdo said: "Hello, welcome along to our Champions League studio, I'm Kate Abdo, joined by Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Steve Urkel."

Steven Urkel is a fictional character from the sitcom Family Matters, who is renowned for his thick eyeglasses.

With Richards also sporting glasses of the same nature, Abdo couldn't resist making the reference and it's safe to say everyone saw the funny side.

Indeed, Abdo's joke immediately prompted laughter from Henry, Carragher and even Richards, who clapped back: "Kate, come on... Wow – it's every week now."

"Is it not true, though?", responded Abdo.

It's not the first time Richards has been teased for his appearance on the show. Last week, the former defender revealed how much he pays for his haircuts – much to the shock of the rest of the studio.

Fans react to Abdo's joke

After the clip of Abdo was shared on social media, a number of fans reacted to the presenter's savage putdown.

"An absolute violation," said one Twitter user.

"Kate is so savage," wrote another.

"Stone cold assassin," joked a third.

"She will never let him rest," added a fourth.

Liverpool thrashed by Real Madrid

Aside from the standard studio banter, the quartet also discussed the small matter of Real Madrid thrashing Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield.

Henry slammed Liverpool's performance and described the result as the "end of an era" for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Similarly, Carragher's reactions to Madrid's goals tell you all you need to know about his feelings about the game.

Klopp's side now have it all to do if they are to avoid an early exit from this year's competition, but winning at the Bernabeu will take some doing.
