In the continuity of the round of 16 second leg played at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, the Parisian leaders were carried away by the refereeing body of the match. UEFA had launched an investigation, but it is still at a standstill.
Never short of superlatives, the Spanish press protested at the behavior of the Parisian management in the corridors of the Bernabeu after the eighth return between Real and Madrid. PSG. Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Leonardo were targeted, they who were very angry after the refereeing of the match and a possible foul by Benzema on Donnarumma during the Madrid equalizer. Facts of verbal violence and on the door of the referees’ locker room as well as threats had been reported. UEFA then expressly indicated that it would open an investigation to shed light on the facts and impose severe sanctions if necessary. But since then, not the shadow of a breakthrough in this case.
PSG confident for Nasser, less for Leonardo
The case must be dealt with by the Disciplinary Committee of the European body. But this was not the case for the meeting of March 30, nor for that of April 20. According to the Team, the case of the PSG leaders is not on the agenda for Friday, May 20 either. A slowness and an immobility which can astonish and already some come to link this to the position of Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The president of PSG is also president of the ECA, the association of European clubs. But Aleksander Ceferin denies offering a special status to anyone.
Leonardo and Nasser al-Khelaïfi will still not be judged by UEFA following their alleged outburst against the referees after the defeat against Real Madrid, which led to the opening of a “disciplinary case” by the body European on March 10. https://t.co/9IiF9rozIf pic.twitter.com/WWhz1oC1Nw

“Conspiracy theories are fantastic. In Europe and around the world, we still think that everything is decided in an alcove. It’s a joke. The Disciplinary Committee has opened a case and no one, neither you nor me, knows what they are going to do. Why should I call them? I never do. Nor for financial fair play. I don’t have time for that. And to judge Nasser, there was no urgency. PSG was eliminated. he told the team. According to the sports daily, at PSG, we are confident for the fate of the president who would not have had any reprehensible behavior in Madrid. However, the doubt is more pronounced on Leonardo. A sword of Damocles remains above the head of the sporting director, whose fate remains uncertain. Neither the elements of the investigation nor the date of the decision are known to date.
