Steven Gerrard shared a memorable moment on The Overlap on Tour as he joined former teammate Jamie Carragher via video call from Saudi Arabia.
The exchange took place as Carragher visited Istanbul’s Olympic Stadium, the site of Liverpool’s historic 2005 Champions League victory.
When Carragher revealed he was accompanied by Gary Neville and Roy Keane, Gerrard’s response was characteristically sharp.
“Oh for f***’s sake. Roy, you can stay where you are, Gary you can f*** off,” the Al-Ettifaq manager quipped, leaving Neville in fits of laughter.
The video call reunion featured on Sky Max’s The Overlap programme, bringing together the former Premier League rivals.
During the nostalgic video call, the Liverpool legends reminisced about their famous Champions League final victory.

Gerrard expressed relief about not having to take a penalty in the shootout, which was ultimately decided by Andriy Shevchenko’s miss.
The conversation turned to post-match memorabilia, with Gerrard revealing he had claimed Shevchenko’s shirt as a souvenir.
He then playfully accused Carragher of selling his Paolo Maldini jersey, a claim his former teammate was quick to dispute.

The exchange captured the camaraderie between the former teammates as they looked back on one of football’s most memorable finals.
When Carragher joked about Gerrard’s financial situation in Saudi Arabia, suggesting he had “no chance of needing to sell anything”, the former Liverpool captain took it in good humour.
Gerrard, who reportedly earns £15million-a-year at Al-Ettifaq, responded with a chuckle: “No I’m alright at the moment. The bills are alright at the moment.”
The light-hearted exchange highlighted the lucrative nature of Saudi Arabian football, where many high-profile figures have been attracted by substantial financial packages.
The former England midfielder’s salary reflects the Saudi Pro League’s growing investment in international football talent.
However, Gerrard’s jovial TV appearance stands in stark contrast to his current managerial challenges in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ettifaq fans recently voiced their displeasure following a defeat to Al-Qadisiyah in the Saudi Pro League.
Some supporters even chanted “get out” as the team’s poor form continued, with Gerrard managing just two wins from six matches.
The club has slipped to 11th place, down from their sixth-place finish last season.

Gerrard took full responsibility for the disappointing performance, describing it as an “embarrassing situation.”
There was a small bright spot, however, as Al-Ettifaq secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Al Qadsia in the Gulf Club Champions League.
