In the first round of the Champions League stage, Real Madrid defeated Marseille 2-1. In this game, Real Madrid's second penalty kick was controversial. Carragher said on the CBS show that he was very angry at the penalty, and he thought it was one of the worst penalty he had ever seen.

Carragher: You try to keep your body balanced, you make a wonderful tackle against one of the best players in the world, but the ball bounces up and hits you. I think this is probably one of the worst penalty I've ever seen, and I'm not trying to exaggerate it, it's a wonderful defense.

Carrag: His hand is right next to his body, he can't do anything, he is trying to pull his hand out when the ball hits him. What should he do? Where should he put his hands? His hands were naturally drooping and not beyond his body.

Carrag: He did not wave his arm wildly, his hand was where he should be next to his body.

CBS commentator Greera: This is Real Madrid in the Champions League, and this kind of thing happens often.

Carragher: Listen, this is a group stage, who knows, but Marseille still has eight or seven games to work hard to advance to the knockout stage. But can you imagine losing the Champions League final in that way? incredible. This is so shocking.
