Roy Keane Accuses Jamie Carragher of Playing Games Over Arsenal Champions League Prediction

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has accused fellow pundit Jamie Carragher of "playing games" by naming Arsenal as favourites to win the Champions League, suggesting Carragher's prediction is a strategic move to ease pressure on Liverpool amid their recent struggles. Carragher highlighted Arsenal's strong defensive form and recent European success, including their 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid, as reasons for their favouritism. Keane countered that while Arsenal are seen as league favourites, this puts extra pressure on them, and he criticized Chelsea's chances of winning the league, dismissing them despite some pundits backing them. The debate unfolded on "The Overlap - Stick to Football," where former England Lioness Jill Scott supported Chelsea, leading to a lighthearted exchange with Keane. The discussion underlines the intense scrutiny and psychological tactics pundits employ during the Premier League and Champions League campaigns. Overall, Keane is wary of overly bold predictions early in the season and sees Carragher's comments as a mind game in the ongoing football narrative.
