Thierry Henry’s Awkward Moment with Christian Pulisic: What Really Happened?
The Champions League is back, and so are the awkward moments. Thierry Henry, the legendary French striker, has been called out for his bizarre behavior during a post-match interview with Christian Pulisic after Liverpool’s 3-1 win over AC Milan. But what really went down?
Henry, along with Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards, formed the CBS Sports panel to discuss the match. The conversation started off smoothly, with Pulisic opening up about his team’s disappointing loss. However, things took a turn when Richards referred to the American winger as "Captain America," and Carragher quickly chimed in with, "They got beat."
Pulisic responded by sharing his thoughts on the game, expressing disappointment with his team’s performance. But when the conversation turned to his national team, Henry seemed to zone out. When asked to contribute to the discussion, Henry simply shook his head, looked down at the desk, and remained silent for a brief moment. The studio fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Fans were quick to react on social media, with some calling out Henry for his behavior. "Just flat weird behavior from Thierry Henry during this Pulisic interview. Strange and awkward," tweeted one fan. Another fan replied, "We thought the same! Wouldn’t ask him a question or look at the screen."
But not everyone was convinced that Henry’s behavior was awkward. Some fans defended him, suggesting that he was simply embarrassed by the line of questioning from the rest of the panel. "I took it as Henry embarrassed by his colleagues’ questions about the USMNT when this game had nothing to do with it," posted one fan. Another fan wrote, "I think he realised how awkward the whole interview was. They’re asking all these NT questions when his club got thumped."
So, what really happened? It’s possible that Henry was taken aback by the sudden shift in topic, or maybe he was simply not interested in discussing Pulisic’s national team. Whatever the reason, the moment has sparked a heated debate among fans.
