Paris Saint-Germain’s President claims his club were ‘dominating’ Real Madrid, until the red card shown to Marco Verratti “killed the game”.
PSG crashed out of the Champions League last 16 after a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday, without ever looking like staging a comeback, yet Nasser Al-Khelaifi was adamant his side could have if Verratti stayed on the pitch.
“We’re disappointed and angry at this result,” he said after the game.

“We’re disappointed and angry at this result,” he said after the game.
“We believed in [progression] and dominated the first half, but after the first goal came Verratti’s dismissal, which killed the game. It’s a difficult defeat to accept.
“For now, we won’t make any decisions, we’re still hot. We’ll think about what we have to do calmly.”
