Berbatov spotted making Carragher ‘look silly’ with skill in legends match
Jamie Carragher was made to 'look silly' by Dimitar Berbatov, as the former professionals matched up against one another in a legends match between Liverpool and Manchester United.
The pair were rivals on the field for many seasons as Carragher was tasked with defending a ruthless United side, and Berbatov proved that class is permanent as he toyed with the former Liverpool defender. The Bulgarian took his time in the box, utilising his excellent ball control much to the annoyance of Carragher.
Carragher was sent to the floor in a desperate attempt to defend against Berbatov. However, the Liverpool man got the last laugh as his side beat United 3-1 at Old Trafford.
A video of Carragher's desperate attempt to stop Berbatov circled on social media, and fans were quick to give their views on the situation. One wrote: "Berbatov making Carragher look silly."
Another added: "Someone needed to humble him after this season." It's been a brilliant year for Liverpool, and Carragher has been thoroughly enjoying it as a pundit and commentator.
However, Carragher wasn't humbled for long, as Liverpool won at Old Trafford for the second time this season. Both the legends and the current crop of players have proved too much for United to handle.
Berbatov did get on the scoresheet for United, as he remained as cool as ever from the penalty spot. But goals from Luis Garcia and Mark Gonzalez won the game for Liverpool in emphatic style.
The result wasn't too important though, as £1.3 million was raised for the Manchester United Foundation. 48,777 supporters were in attendance to see the Merseysiders ease past United in the 'legends of the north' clash.
Carragher's Monday Night Football colleague Gary Neville captained the United side which featured the likes of Patrice Evra and Jaap Stam. But he suffered a rare defeat to Liverpool on home soil.
