Karen Carney has joined TNT Sports as another big-name signing for their Champions League and Premier League coverage. She will be part of their first new-look Goals Show Xtra programme which airs tonight around the first match night of the new-look Champions League. It is a big coup for TNT to snap up Carney, who was previously at Sky Sports last season and a major face of their live coverage.
Ex-England star Carney, 37, who won 144 caps, will be in TNT’s new Curve studio which will then show goals from all three European competitions , also including Europa League and Europa Conference League. She will be alongside Owen Hargreaves, presenter Matt Smith and the panel which includes Julien Laurens, James Horncastle, and Rafa Honigstein for the hugely popular show as it has all the goals from all the European games. Carney said: “I am thrilled to be joining the TNT Sports team and being involved in the UEFA club competitions.
I’m really excited and can’t wait to get watching the games with you all.” The Curve studio will feature rolling highlights during each match day showing goals and key moments from all the games. TNT will show 529 European matches in total live and exclusively from the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League – which includes 187 Champions League matches.
TNT Sports presenters and analysts already include Laura Woods, Ally McCoist, Reshmin Chowdhury, Owen Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand . Coverage of Goals Show Xtra starts at 7:30pm and will be presented by Matt Smith. TNT will also have highlights from each match night from 10pm.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Who will win the Champions League this season? Comment below . The first week of competition centres on the Champions League. TNT Sports will broadcast Aston Villa’s trip to BSC Young Boys.
Manchester City entertain Inter Milan and Arsenal visit Atalanta in the first ever UEFA Champions League fixture scheduled on a Thursday night. Meanwhile, Liverpool travel to AC Milan on Tuesday night in their opening game of this year's tournament. Reds boss Arne Slot is keen to see his side bounce back from Saturday's defeat to Nottingham Forest .
"I don't think any manager or any team is scared to play the other team but we have a lot of respect for the quality and the players and the history of Milan. They have quality players," he said. "We're not scared but we do respect all of their players because they have shown last Saturday that they are in good form.
They had a very good 4-0 win. So, we respect Milan a lot, but 'scared' is not the word we would use. "I think everybody who loves football is looking forward to that game.
I expect a completely different game against Milan with the type of players they have and the playing style that manager has compared to Nottingham Forest."
