Extremely rare, the president of an opposing club was insulted by local supporters during the match between PSG and Bayern Munich. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was targeted by a banner from German supporters.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi will long remember his trip to Munich in November 2024. Firstly because his Paris Saint-Germain team lost to Bayern (1-0) but above all because he was insulted by the supporters of the Bavarian club. Rare enough to be highlighted, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was the target of a very long banner from Bayern Munich supporters. “Minister, club owner, rights holders, UEFA executive member and president, all in one. Is football me? Fu… off, plutocratic Al-Khelaïfi” could we read in the banner of the German kop.
A message that the management of Bayern Munich does not share since in a press release published this Wednesday, the German club apologized to the president of Paris Saint-Germain. “FC Bayern apologizes and feels offended when its opponents and their representatives in its stadium feel personally attacked in this way and in this tone. The club specifies that these banners were not authorized and do not reflect its position” published Bayern Munich on its official website. Given the power and influence of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi at UEFA, the Bavarian club has undoubtedly had a hard time with the insults of its own supporters against the boss of PSG, hence the need to apologize flatly in a press release this Wednesday.
