The FANS felt sorry for Michael Owen as he panditry alongside Peter Crouch as their elevation difference was in sharp contrast.
The pair were on BT Sport alongside Rio Ferdinand as they followed Liverpool’s ultimately unsuccessful attempt to turn around the tie against Real Madrid.

As the three former players gathered around the interactive tactics board to preview the game, fans noticed the varying heights between the pundits.
The clear difference wasn’t helped by BT Sport’s camera angle, which made the difference seem increasingly clear.
Owen is 5ft 8in, while the famously tall Crouch is 6ft 7in, and the former barely seemed to get to Crouch’s shoulder height in some shots.
And with the camera angle overdoing things, fans couldn’t contain their delight at what they saw.
One said: “They got Owen dirty here and I love it.”
Another unscrupulous fan asked, “How short is Michael Owen?”
A viewer shared the picture on his Twitter account, adding: “Who decided to put Michael Owen next to Crouch?”
While another said ahead of kick-off: “The game isn’t going to be as good with Crouch standing next to Owen.”

It ended up being a decent return leg at the Bernabeu as Liverpool tried in vain to undo last month’s Anfield match.
With some outstanding saves from Alisson, Real Madrid eventually won 1-0 thanks to Karim Benzema.
