The dynamic quartet of Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards, have been gracing our screens during Champions League broadcasts. These four groups of people are regarded to have great chemistry together within themselves.
Many people know them for their insightful analysis, however, it’s the witty banner and funny times that have won the hearts of their fans over the last couple of seasons.
The playful rapport among the broadcasters, however, has also led to some light-hearted speculation. Fans have occasionally indulged in good-natured jokes about the possibility of an extra layer behind the friendship between Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo.
Fans were treated with laughter just recently on October 24, when there was an amusing incident that occurred during the show. Abdo announced, “So everybody, we’ve got a big announcement coming up. Make sure you stay with us for that. You lot [Carragher, Richards, and Henry] don’t know what it is yet. Well, all I can tell you is it’s a big announcement, and it’s coming up.”

Jamie Carragher quickly jumped in with a jest, asking, “Oh, are you engaged?” Kate Abdo, with her signature wit, sarcastically responded, “Yes, I’m getting engaged. He doesn’t know yet, but yes.”
However, Thierry Henry’s reaction is the real kicker. It did not take long before fans on one of the social media platforms “X,” noticed what seemed to be a sad picture on the legendary player’s face as he was digesting Abdo’s announcement.
fans commented, “Thierry Henry is heartbroken“, and “We can see the exact moment his heart breaks.” while others added, “Office wife is getting married.” and, “He’s taking the very next manager offer he gets.”
Thierry Henry’s Arsenal love story continues with Gabriel Jesus
Recently, during his role as a pundit covering Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League match against Sevilla, Thierry Henry made a candid admission that surely caught the attention of fans and fellow pundits alike.

This is no other player but Gabriel Jesus, whom Arsenal signed last season from Manchester City. During Arsenal’s 2-1 victory against Sevilla in the Champions League, Jesus displayed qualities that resonated with Henry’s own attributes during his playing days. Silky skills, pace, strength, and a constant goal threat – these are traits that both players share.
As a pundit for CBS Sports Golazo, Henry admitted, “I would have loved to have played with him. He’s a great guy to have around. If you ask anyone, they would say they would have liked to have played with him.”
While Gabriel Jesus might not be the most prolific center-forward in terms of goal-scoring, he brings much more to the team than just putting the ball in the back of the net. His contribution to Arsenal’s win over Sevilla highlighted his importance. The Brazilian forward has notched up 15 goals and nine assists in 44 games across various competitions since joining the Gunners.
