Minutes after the Santiago Bernabéu exploded with joy, the president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, left to the box race, with the pulsations at a thousand per hour.
Behind him, the sports director, Leonardo.
His objective was to find
Danny Makkelie
, the Dutch referee, through the guts of the white stadium.
A transfer that, obviously, knows much worse than that of the Parisian home.
At the break of the first leg match in Paris, the same protagonists had come down to put pressure on the referee
Daniele Orsato
.
This time, in his opinion, like that of most of the French expedition, Benzema's first goal, the one that led to the comeback, was preceded by a foul on Donnarumma.
Hence his tremendous heat.
According to several witnesses, Nasser went down to the room for visitors, but he did it out of his mind, screaming and banging against the walls of the corridor, trying to find the referees' locker room.
But first, by mistake, he entered
Megía Dávila
's, Real Madrid's field delegate.
Being stopped by several people, including an employee of the white club who was recording the scene, the sheikh yelled at him: "I'm going to kill you!".
Beside him, Leonardo, also beside himself, demanded explanations.
Later he did manage to reach the referees' booth, as Makkelie himself reflected in the match minutes.
In section 7, the referee wrote: "After the game, the President and the Technical Director of PSG showed aggressive behavior and tried to enter the referees' locker room. When the referee asked them to leave, they blocked the door and the president deliberately hit the pennant of one of the attendees, breaking it".
Al Khelaifi, an ally of
Ceferin
, president of UEFA, could face a heavy penalty for this matter.
"The feeling is one of great injustice, because of the goal conceded. It is a clear foul from Benzema to Donnarumma. The emotional state has changed and we have been very exposed," protested
Mauricio Pochettino
, the PSG coach.
"It is a tremendous blow, because we have been better in the tie. We have been better in 180 minutes of football. Real Madrid, it is true, had nothing to lose with 1-1 and went up with everything", he added. .
"It's not an error because it's a clear foul"
The protagonist of the play, the Italian
Donnarumma
, did not like the referee's decision either.
"It is not an error because it is a clear foul. I have seen the images between 30 and 40 times, with all the cameras. The small details count and the VAR has not seen a decisive foul. It is a determining factor that influenced the mood of the players. two teams and the stadium. We had control of the game and the chances", maintained the transalpine goalkeeper, victim of Benzema's three blows.
And the sporting director,
Leonardo
, didn't hold his tongue either: "Donnarumma's foul was decisive. Until the break, PSG controlled the game."
However, the Brazilian wanted to lower the tension: "We shouldn't throw everything away. We don't have to start all over again with each defeat. We have to try to improve this team and keep our morale high to play in Ligue 1 and finish well the season. We have to stay together. Pochettino continues this season."
