Florentino and Al Khelaifi together but not mixed

  /  William008

The last match between the two teams didn't end as smoothly as possible. There was food that day, but not on Tuesday. FIFA only organizes a small gathering before each match.

History repeats itself game after game in this World Cup. The presidents and other club officials arrive at the stadiums whenever they see fit, always respecting courtesy. In many of them, Gianni Infantino acts as the master of ceremonies. The president likes to reflect the good atmosphere between the teams and always includes a photo of the match. What FIFA hasn't wanted is to organize a pre-match lunch or dinner.

Wednesday's match is special. The relationship between Real Madrid and PSG isn't the best and has deteriorated over time . Infantino has a great relationship with Florentino Pérez and is also grateful that PSG led the way in getting the ECA to support the Club World Cup.

If Infantino knows anything, it's how to navigate these situations, and he'll do it again. But we mustn't forget what happened in the last match between the two teams, with Al Khelaifi storming into the locker room in a somewhat violent mood. Then, Mbappé was signed.

In that March 2022 match, Al Khelaifi stormed out of the box and went straight to the locker room, furious, punching and rudely seeking out the referees to rebuke them for something he didn't like about the match. The problem is that he got confused and ended up shouting in the room of Megía Dávila, Real Madrid's field representative.

Al-Khelaifi didn't take his team's elimination well, especially after seeing that for a match and a half they had been the masters of the tie, only to fall apart in the final half hour.
