With Aston Villa's matchup with Bayern Munich one of the biggest games of the night, the CBS panel began discussing Richards' four-year spell with the Villans.

But instead of glowing about the twilight of the 36-year-old's career, the pundits ripped into his time at Villa Park - pulling up some damning stats as evidence.

A stats graphic, hilariously titled "Big Meeks: Four glorious years at Aston Villa", painted the picture of his injury riddled spell in Birmingham.

Showing that Richards had made just 31 appearances during the four-tear stint, missing 142 games and being an unused substitute 41 times.

But the teasing didn't stop there, Carragher then got up some old videos of a number of the former Man City star's in-game mistakes - talking them through live on CBS Sports.

The retired Liverpool centre-back highlighted four goals that Richards was as fault for during his playing days with Villa, showing clips of defensive mistakes against Arsenal, Norwich, Everton and Southampton.

Fans couldn't believe how much Richards' colleague had ripped into him and took to social media to react.

One wrote: "Do they hate him? Jeez".
