Logan, who this month was confirmed as one third of the new Match of the Day presenting team alongside Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates , made an unfortunate gaffe during Amazon Prime's Champions League coverage. Logan was hosting Liverpool 's clash against Lille, alongside pundits Fowler, Luis Garcia and Daniel Sturridge.
Mohamed Salah fired the Reds ahead with a well-taken goal in the first half, capitalising on a superb ball through from Curtis Jones, which led to analysis from the punditry team at the break. Just before cutting to an advert break, Logan accidentally said: ' Mo Farah is smelling blood.' Farah is a retired 41-year-old long distance runner who won four Olympic golds and six world titles during his successful career.
