UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Paris
Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi on Thursday over heated incidents
after the team's Champions League loss at Real Madrid.
The Qatari is also a member of UEFA's executive committee,
chairman of the influential European Club Association and head of Doha-based
broadcaster beIN Media Group — a key Champions League TV rights holder.
The disciplinary case, which also includes sporting director
Leonardo, followed reports that Al-Khelaifi went in search of the match
officials to protest refereeing decisions on Wednesday night.
PSG was beaten 3-1 in Madrid to exit the round of 16 with a
3-2 aggregate loss. The French side had led 1-0 from the first leg and Kylian
Mbappe scored again in Madrid to give PSG a 2-0 aggregate lead that was wiped
out by Karim Benzema scoring a hat trick.
UEFA confirmed the disciplinary cases had been opened
without specifying the details.
