Abdo, alongside pundits Carragher, Henry and Richards, have been entertaining during European midweeks as their chemistry shines through while providing detailed analysis. After Kevin De Bruyne's strike earned Manchester City a draw at Real Madrid in the other semi-final, Henry paid tribute to the Belgian and explained what makes the midfielder so great a clip that was shared many times across social media.
"I still think he’s the most important player in this team,’" Henry said. "I’ve come across a lot of players, played with a lot of players, saw a lot of players, played against some of the greatest. I think Kevin, his brain is the best I’ve ever seen, the way he sees the game.
"Because his brain is in some places, I don’t know what he thinks about sometimes, you look at him and it’s almost like he’s not with us because he’s that good. Sometimes it can be a problem because you’re not on his level, but I think he’s the most clever player I’ve seen in my life. It’s just second to none, the way he thinks."
