'F*cking criminal bro!' - Jamie Carragher leaves Ian Wright gobsmacked as he reveals how he missed out on Liverpool's 2005 Champions League final celebration photos in Istanbul

The former Liverpool defender explained how he was not seen in any of the photos of the Champions League trophy lift as he was suffering with cramp. Carragher told of how tightness in his calf muscle meant he was stood at the back - and out of sight - of the photos celebrating their famous night in Istanbul. Ian Wright could not believe what he was being told.

Speaking on Stick to Football, Carragher said: "One of my regrets, when Stevie [Gerrard] lifted the trophy is I'm not in any picture."

Ian Wright responded in disbelief: "That’s f*cking criminal bro."

Carragher then explained further: "I’m at the back, stretching my calf because I’m getting cramp at the end of the game. So when you get the shot from above and you can see players who have only played two games - like the right-back, a Spanish lad, Josemi, he’s right in it and in every picture - I’m stretching my calf in the back and I just think ‘oh my God’ because whenever I sign a picture [of Istanbul], I’m signing over Josemi’s head!"

Liverpool's famous night in Istanbul still ranks as one of the greatest Champions League finals of all time. The Reds were 3-0 down to a world-class AC Milan side and turned the game around to draw 3-3 and take the game to penalties before triumphing on spot-kicks.

Carragher's Liverpool are set to enter a new era following the departure of Jurgen Klopp from the club. The Reds have appointed Arne Slot as his replacement and speculation about how he will line up his new-look Liverpool side is already mounting.
