What happened during the studio analysis

Alarm sirens ring in Qatar.

The analysis studio for the Galatasaray vs Liverpool match on BeIN Sports faced a strange moment due to the ongoing Iranian attacks on Gulf countries in recent days.

During the guests analysis of the first half of the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, alarm sirens were heard on phones echoing through the Qatar-based studio.

Qatari presenter Mohammad Saadoun Al-Kuwari commented on the moment, noting that the sirens signal danger is near, praying that God protects Qatar and the Arab and Islamic nations.

A few minutes later he confirmed that he and the studio guests could hear missiles in the sky above Qatar.

The Gulf states have endured numerous Iranian strikes in recent days, in response to Israeli and American strikes aimed at Iran.

Punchline 2: And if my jokes had this much drama, we would call it extra time in real life too.
