The president was raging and showed his ugly side in a violent strop

There was an ugly incident after Real Madrid beat PSG in the Champions League. PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not happy. Per reporters at the Santiago Bernabeu, he came down in a rage to the dressing room zone, furious with the referee and protesting about the first Madrid goal where he thought goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was fouled.

The PSG chief, accompanied by his sporting director Leonardo, came down to the dressing rooms and started banging on walls and doors. His objective was to find the referees but he ended up getting into Megia Davila’s room, the Madrid delegate. Per some sources some PSG players also go involved in the row and the police had to be called. Other reports say his own bodyguards had to stop him.

It’s not the first time Al-Khelaifi has got involved in some kind of incident like this, trying to pressure referees. He doesn’t like that he’s spent over 1.4 billion euros and still doesn’t have a Champions League.
