Football – Champions League
The body must decide whether to sanction Al-Khelaifi, who lost his temper after his team was eliminated.
PSG’s Qatari president Nasser al-Khelaifi did not fare well in a new defeat for his side in the round of 16 of the Champions League, this time against Real Madrid, who beat them in the first leg. . The angry reaction of the main manager of the Parisian team was, after the final whistle, to go down in a bad way in the locker room area of the Santiago Bernabéu in search of the party’s partner, the Dutchman Danny Mekkelie. The action that provoked the anger of Al-Khelaifi was that the referee did not cancel the first goal of Benzema when considering that there was a previous lack of the French striker to the goalkeeper Donnarumma. In the press room, PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino called it a “shame” that the VAR did not urge Mekkelie to cancel it.
But the commotion was led by the president of the Paris team, who lost his temper and started knocking on the door of Megía Dávila, Madrid’s delegate for referees, instead of the locker room where the referee was of the party. Things did not stop there because, according to several Madrid media reports, Al-Khelaifi even threatened an employee of the white group who was recording the reaction. In fact, the SER explained on Thursday that the president of PSG threatened this worker by telling him “I will kill you” and even went so far as to hit his mobile phone. Al-Khelaifi’s bodyguards ended up taking him to the PSG-enabled visiting area, while Leonardo, sporting director of the Parisian club, shouted for the video to be deleted.
Seconds The world, UEFA has intervened and has asked Madrid to record the white club’s employee as well as the contents recorded by the security cameras installed in the area of the locker room tunnel. In the coming days, the highest body in European football must announce whether or not to sanction the president of PSG. And Pochettino could also be sanctioned for statements in which he questioned arbitration. Al-Khelaifi is the president of the European Club Association and a close associate of UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin. The two strengthened ties by opposing the creation of the Super League.
