UEFA opened a disciplinary investigation on Thursday against Paris SG, its president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and its sports director Leonardodue to the behavior of the two leaders after the Parisian elimination against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of C1.
This procedure is based on Article 11 the disciplinary rules of the body, which relate to the “general principles of conduct”, as well as on article 15 which sanctions the “incorrect behavior of players and officials”.
aggressive behavior
Spanish media reported on Thursday that Al-Khelaïfi and Leonardo had had the day before a “aggressive behaviour“towards the referees after the sinking against Real Madrid (3-1), furious at the validation of the first of Karim Benzema’s three goals.
According to the content of the match report broadcast by Spanish media, the two Parisian leaders have “showed aggressive behavior and tried to enter the referees’ dressing room“.
Another version of the facts according to the referee’s report
The referee’s report does not go in the same direction. According to information from France Bleu Paris, the document specifies that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was neither aggressive nor insulting towards the referee. Nor would Leonardo have been violent. He would have simply given a big kick in the door of the referee’s locker room.
The club does not dispute the fact that the two Parisian leaders wanted to speak to the referee after the game. On the other hand, he refutes any accusation of aggressiveness.
The Parisian club believes that the center forward of Real has committed a fault on the Parisian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma before scoring, without the referees whistling it or checking the footage at VAR.
