Al-Khelaifi and Leonardo are said to have misbehaved after the final whistle in Madrid. According to the Madrid newspaper Marca, Al-Khelaïfi wanted to go to the dressing room of the Dutch arbitration team of Makkelie.
The PSG chairman threatened a Real Madrid employee who filmed the scene with a mobile phone in the catacombs. “I’m going to kill you,” Al-Khelaïfi is said to have yelled.
He had to be stopped by one of his own security guards. His behavior may result in punishment. The Qatari sits on the UEFA board as president of the ECA, the association of European football clubs.
PSG lost the return in Bernabeu 3-1, which meant they were eliminated in the eighth finals of the Champions League. At halftime, the star team from Paris was still 0-1 thanks to a goal from Kylian Mbappé, who had made the only goal in the first game three weeks ago (1-0).
However, Real Madrid struck in the second half with 3 goals from Karim Benzema. In the first there was a prior pushing foul on goalkeeper Donnarumma, PSG players and administrators complain. That changed the whole outcome of the match.
