Watch: Jamie Carragher Gleefully Recalls The Time He Made Nani Cry

Back in March 2011, Jamie Carragher was very lucky not to be sent off for a dangerous tackle on Manchester United winger Nani.

The tackle took a chunk out of Nani's shin, but once the United fans saw the reaction of the Portuguese, their anger quickly turned to embarrassment at the fact that one of their players was crying due to a hard tackle.

That feeling was shared by Wayne Rooney, who Jamie Carragher revealed came up to the Liverpool captain and told him of the fact, stating that he wouldn't believe it.

Carragher was speaking on Sky Sports' Fantasy Football Show where he and Neville revealed their most famous Liverpool vs Man United moments before picking their best XI's from the other club during their time as a player.

Liverpool would go on to win the game 3-1, and that tackle is actually seen by many as the moment when Nani's best patch of form came to an end. He was in unstoppable form at the time, but the challenge clearly had a big effect on him.

It's good that Carragher and Neville can laugh about it now, and that was an excellent episode of the Fantasy Football Show ahead of Monday night's marquee clash.
