Carragher is working for Norwegian TV channel Viasport for the match in Madrid between former side Liverpool and Tottenham.
Viasport started their coverage in the early afternoon, presenting from outside the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium before moving inside Atletico Madrid’s 67,000 capacity ground.
But Jamie Carragher was not quite at his sharpest, which may have something to do with a late night out on Friday.
Former Norway international Jan Age Fjortoft was presenting the programme alongside the pundit.
Are we on air? Are we on air?
And when the cameras cut back to the duo after a VT, Carragher was caught unawares, slouched over the table, looking at his phone and with an open bottle of water.
Fjortoft attempted to carry on as normal, discussing previous Champions League finals.
He said: “The good thing for you Jamie is you can’t remember your loss in 2007.”
And off-mic Carragher could be heard asking “Are we on air? Are we on air?”.
The former defender quickly moved his phone and water out of shot.
Fjortoft replied: “We are on air, we are on air, but that’s okay.
“You’re thirsty, you want to look at your phone.”
Carragher responded: “Hungover.”
“Okay hungover, were you out last night?,” asked Fjortoft.
“No,” Carragher quipped.
“No, you were just in your hotel weren’t you,” Fjortoft said.
