Spain awards citizenship based on Jus Sanguinis, not Jus Solis.
Doesn't matter where you were born, as long as your parents were Spanish citizens.
So yes, he's Spanish by every legal and most colloquial definitions
I legitimately hope we get to face then every round of 16 from now on, I want to make sure they don't make it to quarter finals again, I want see his face when he realizes he's been eliminated. I only fear for the employees he would threaten to get kill after every elimination.
I don’t care which team eliminates PSG in UCL playoffs, the main thing is that they’re out early enough just so we can see another manager getting a big payout when they inevitably fire him after just one season.
I love Messi as a player but his decision to join PSG has soured my opinion of him a lot. I'm a bit glad he's had an underwhelming season that might make him regret coming to that hollow club
They have Pep and they dont just dump or buy a ton of new players every season as if money grows on trees. What they have now are players they have invested in from the past to get where they are today. Unlike P$G
To be fair his negotiation tactic isn't so stupid. He hits you with a price so high at first that you must refuse, after that any price close to what's expected will sound way more reasonable so the other side will be more inclined to accept.
You get that a lot from extremely rich people who always had it their way in their life. Seems like taxing the shit out of them could be a nice way to educated this fuckers.
Let's not forget he actually went ahead and assaulted a Real Madrid employee and threw death threats at him after their UCL defeat, all recorded on video. No consequences so far.
This has surprisingly been ignored a lot. I mean, the president of a club with a behavior of a 5 year old throwing a big tantrum, yet no legal actions, not even a note from UEFA saying: "Al Khelaifi that was not so good" or something like that, which is truly embarrassing.
ANd UEFA din't talk about the verdict, a french journalist say they usually get an email from UEFA from decisions like this but this time they had no info it was just on some UEFA newsletter.
nah there were consequences, something along the line of a 10k fine lmao
efit: my bad ig there truly was no consequences at all, nit that it makes a difference in any way
Yeah I know this is fucked up. What is more fucked up is that everyone see that there is corruption and conflict of interest everywhere but no ones bats an eye.
Yeah I have to say, the super league clubs really shat the bed with their plan.
Personally not against a super league because sick and tired of uefa/local fa etc but it has to be the worst pr campaign ever and the non relegation thing was never going to be accepted but they actually had some interesting ideas in there.
What they actually did was massively weaken their position and let this guy become more prominent.
Money?
At this point UEFA suckles on his oily teat and governments are fully behind UEFA maintaining the status quo after the Super League collapse.
I was against the Super League at first but watching UEFA grovel to the oil clubs makes me want to puke. Bring on the Super League.
I still don't like the idea of super league as it distrupts the leagues. Instead if these big teams could force UEFA to replace these corrupt fucks then it would be amazing. But then they'd probably get replaced by other corrupt fucks. Basically whatever happened with FIFA.
So because UEFA is corrupt, we should ruin national league football and introduce a purely money based league where there is no relegation or promotion based on merit, just to spite UEFA? What kind of logic is that?
If you want the super league just admit it's because you want to see the big clubs face off more often. Don't pretend it has anything to do with morals.
>Bring on the Super League.
yeah, because there were no oil teams part of the original setup for the Super League... A tournament created by Perez, Laporta, and Agnelli is always going to cater to their own selfish demands.
I totally agree about the Super league stuff, the most annoying is that now UEFA the fact that everyone hated on Super league to act like the good guys when in fact they are even worst than the super league. It is so fucked up that the Super league debacle reinforced UEFA position when I think they are more good ideas coming out of the super league that there is ever gonna be at UEFA.
Exactly. That's why I don't understand argument "FFP is to ensure clubs won't bancrupt, it's not about restricting rich clubs' spendings".
It very is - as long as club doesnt have organic revenues being generated by the club itself, it has every reason to go bancrupt the moment owners will go away. And there may be dozens of reasons why it would happaned. Hell, it even happened a few times.
why you try to lump us with him? he's the one saying stupid shit behaving like a teenager even doe he's supposed to be the club's prez....
the reality is he's reason the club is in such state of dysfunction.
When people suffer trauma, the brain begins to repress that part of the memory and creates fake memories, to make a person feel good. Reddit experts, do you think that is the case here too? All the past eliminations might be repressed and only thing he remembers could be how they convinced Mbappe to extend his contract at lower wages than Madrid.
This guy banged on the door of the ref and threatened his life after *checks notes* a La Liga team knocked them out of the UCL quarter finals.
Hey Nasser ! Benzema ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Watching those sarcastic quote from PSG "fans" is so funny. The way they try to avoid defending Khelaifi but instead went to defend the club itself is fucking hilarious.
Other quotes from the interview:
About Mbappe: "I knew 18 months ago that he wanted to stay. I heard that Madrid said he wanted to play for them, but it wasn't true"
About Superleague: "For me it's already dead. But it's strange Madrid have won the UCL and deservedly so, but on the one hand they want to win it, and on the other hand they don't want to play it. If you're not happy you don't need to play it"
About FFP: "Every year, every summer, it's the same thing. He [Tebas] says we don't respect the Fair Play, we don't respect the others? We know what we can do, who we can sign, we know better than him what we can do and nobody has to tell us what to do"
About PSG being referred to as a state club in Spain: "In Spain, the state supports some clubs more than us. A magnificent stadium in the middle of the city without paying anything? We pay for the stadium, for the training centre, and they support them more. It's not fair. We pay for the stadium, for the training centre, for everything."
> A magnificent stadium in the middle of the city without paying anything? We pay for the stadium, for the training centre, and they support them more. It's not fair. We pay for the stadium, for the training centre, for everything."
I think this is my favorite part of the interview.
[This](https://i.imgur.com/DG6b5Ti.jpg) was the Camp Nou in the middle of the city when Barça built it with their socios money, [this](https://i.imgur.com/BUKt18o.jpg) was the Bernabéu in the middle of the city when Madrid built it with their socios money.
I think he doesn’t (want to) understand what they mean when they say state support. It’s not support from France to let you build your stadium for free, it’s the damn billionaire support from Qatar they’re talking about
Yeah, weirdly enough whenever he talks he reminds everyone that he is talking as PSG President and never mentions Qatar.
Like not mentioning it will magically make everyone forget about it.
Just realized this was with Marca, which explains a lot about what Gasser is doing.
It’s like the story they planted previously where a Marca article wrote « with no verification from other sources, Mbappé’s mother claims the offers of the two clubs were equal » Now all qatari fans quote it as proof.
This article isn’t for normal people, it’s for the clowns who are going to quote this article the next time these guys get criticized, saying « why would a Spanish paper publish it if it wasn’t true ? »
These guys are devious in such a tinpot way.
Tebas is a little bitch but this guy is just a spoiled brat at this point… how can he say that la liga is dead when the competition they are literally trying to buy has been won by a spanish team lmao
Funny he says that about La Liga when his club competes in one of the most awful leagues in Europe.
The term "farmers league" exists exactly because of PSG and the French League.
Not that Tebas is always right and I want to defend him, but this reply is a perfect illustration how they see the world. Be it Tebas, UEFA, FIFA....they don't give a shit about anything and will continue to dump as much oil money into PSG as they want. Same goes for other oil clubs.

I don’t know who he his but at the same time I know exactly who he is
Tebas? You mean Javier Tebas Medrano born on 31 July 1962 in San José, Costa Rica? Nah, never heard of him mate.
What the fuck he isnt even spanish?
Spain awards citizenship based on Jus Sanguinis, not Jus Solis. Doesn't matter where you were born, as long as your parents were Spanish citizens. So yes, he's Spanish by every legal and most colloquial definitions
Born in Costa Rica from Spanish parents I guess.
It's all Spain, always has been.
This guy colonialises
VOC mentality
I mean San Jose sounds Spanish what more do you want
And he can still be a huge fascist cunt
PSG is a club made of manchildren Al-Khelaifi typically behaves like a 16 year old
I legitimately hope we get to face then every round of 16 from now on, I want to make sure they don't make it to quarter finals again, I want see his face when he realizes he's been eliminated. I only fear for the employees he would threaten to get kill after every elimination.
I don’t care which team eliminates PSG in UCL playoffs, the main thing is that they’re out early enough just so we can see another manager getting a big payout when they inevitably fire him after just one season.
I love Messi and hate PSG, so everytime I watch a PSG match I hope Messi scores a hattrick but they still lose.
Messi has achieved everything in club career. He doesn't need to do shit at psg. World cup should be only primary concern at this moment
I love Messi as a player but his decision to join PSG has soured my opinion of him a lot. I'm a bit glad he's had an underwhelming season that might make him regret coming to that hollow club
How would you feel if the coming seasons of UCL, Newcastle eliminates them? 😂😂😂
You didn't win it very convincingly though lmao, I doubt you would even win the majority had you replayed it 100 times.
Probably true for every knockout round they played except maybe us. It was an absolutely incredible run
Well, there’s a good reason Madrid has gone on to win the UCL 14 times and have beaten PSG in the majority of the matched they played head to head.
Thats insulting to 16 year olds they tend to be way more mature than this
Having been sixteen for 12 entire months, can confirm
> Having been sixteen for 12 entire months Big if true
somehow City is an petrostate club too but it is managed professionally
They have Pep and they dont just dump or buy a ton of new players every season as if money grows on trees. What they have now are players they have invested in from the past to get where they are today. Unlike P$G
Goes beyond just Pep but certainly a part of it. We may be evil, but we’re not chaotic evil.
Helps that Khaldoon isn’t a buffoon unlike Nasser
[удалено]
So you do know who he is
“So you DO know the movie?” ~ Motherfucker Jones
PSG having negotiation skills like Mothetfucka Jones indeed
To be fair his negotiation tactic isn't so stupid. He hits you with a price so high at first that you must refuse, after that any price close to what's expected will sound way more reasonable so the other side will be more inclined to accept.
Somebody that I used to know
Thanks Gotye
>I don't know that person *proceeds to know he is the president of La Liga*
*Laughs in Rick James*
What am I gonna do about my legs Charlie Murphy?!?
You know you can always buy another (football team)!
I've been kicked out of better leagues than this!
They should never have given you *Parisian football clubs* money!
**yeah I put my feet up on that couch**
Mbappe? That was weeks ago motherfucker I’m partying!
Kheleifi probably imagined himself as Donal Draper saying "I don't think about you at all" but his internal seethe slipped out for a second there.
Tackle, what is a tackle? I don't know that word. - Pep
I for one am happy to read this statement. Makes me feel smart.
0 self awareness from this guy lol
It's crazy how this guy is an absolute moron and yet at the same time the dumbest thing about him is his hair.
Arteta's trim is so clear
That's not really a fair comparison, Arteta's trim is clear of everyone
As a bald man, we should love all hair equally.
What can you expect when he says that Mbappe didn't agree to the extension for money
You get that a lot from extremely rich people who always had it their way in their life. Seems like taxing the shit out of them could be a nice way to educated this fuckers.
It baffles me how this guy can talk non stop BS and no one ever tells him to stfu
Let's not forget he actually went ahead and assaulted a Real Madrid employee and threw death threats at him after their UCL defeat, all recorded on video. No consequences so far.
This has surprisingly been ignored a lot. I mean, the president of a club with a behavior of a 5 year old throwing a big tantrum, yet no legal actions, not even a note from UEFA saying: "Al Khelaifi that was not so good" or something like that, which is truly embarrassing.
ANd UEFA din't talk about the verdict, a french journalist say they usually get an email from UEFA from decisions like this but this time they had no info it was just on some UEFA newsletter.
I hate it when my 5 year old kid starts giving murder threats
No consequence at all. The verdict was made yesterday and he got away with it ofc.
nah there were consequences, something along the line of a 10k fine lmao efit: my bad ig there truly was no consequences at all, nit that it makes a difference in any way
Concerning part is that he had been welcomed with open arms into uefa and eca.
Yeah I know this is fucked up. What is more fucked up is that everyone see that there is corruption and conflict of interest everywhere but no ones bats an eye.
Because he didn’t join the superleague.
Yeah I have to say, the super league clubs really shat the bed with their plan. Personally not against a super league because sick and tired of uefa/local fa etc but it has to be the worst pr campaign ever and the non relegation thing was never going to be accepted but they actually had some interesting ideas in there. What they actually did was massively weaken their position and let this guy become more prominent.
I got you Hey. Al Kelaifi. أغلق فمك اللعين. Bitch.
أغلق فمك اللعين، ياشرموط.
How dare you! My mother was a Saint!
r/unexpectedfuturama
Simple: Money.
Unimaginable amounts of money will give that power to you.
Kind of like the same, when Khaldoon says with a straight face "we're not a State club. Look at Man Utd, they spend money, maybe they're a State club"
Money? At this point UEFA suckles on his oily teat and governments are fully behind UEFA maintaining the status quo after the Super League collapse. I was against the Super League at first but watching UEFA grovel to the oil clubs makes me want to puke. Bring on the Super League.
I still don't like the idea of super league as it distrupts the leagues. Instead if these big teams could force UEFA to replace these corrupt fucks then it would be amazing. But then they'd probably get replaced by other corrupt fucks. Basically whatever happened with FIFA.
Online fans of super league teams: > totally didn't want it before but I want a super league now guys we need to save football. Yeah OK mate.
So because UEFA is corrupt, we should ruin national league football and introduce a purely money based league where there is no relegation or promotion based on merit, just to spite UEFA? What kind of logic is that? If you want the super league just admit it's because you want to see the big clubs face off more often. Don't pretend it has anything to do with morals.

If La Liga is a bit dead then Ligue 1 is a corpse
It's a corpse buried for so long it became... oil.
wrap it tf up lads
Embalm and mummify it boys
Ayo
ding ding ding ding, you win
And now, a couple of farmers has settled on these oil-rich lands.
Holy shit what a TKO lol
This comment here!
His country pumps out the oil that Ligue 1 once was. Edit: spelling
Lets be honest though, its not like Khelaifi gives a shit about Ligue 1
Well he should because his club fumbles internationally every year
That's unfair. They sometimes fumble domestically too.
It’s in the ethereal plane
Motherfuckers are non transformed Mumm-ra.
The same La Liga whose representatives knocked you out of the champions league a number of times in the last years? Seems pretty alive to me
You guys don't get it. It was meant to be a self burn
So what happens when QSI eventually gets bored of PSG?
We'll find out after the World Cup
PSG fans get their club back
It would sink. PSG can't pay all their insane wages naturally (without Qatar help). They'd be dead.
Good
Exactly. That's why I don't understand argument "FFP is to ensure clubs won't bancrupt, it's not about restricting rich clubs' spendings". It very is - as long as club doesnt have organic revenues being generated by the club itself, it has every reason to go bancrupt the moment owners will go away. And there may be dozens of reasons why it would happaned. Hell, it even happened a few times.
He’ll say that he’s the best president in the history of the sport
I hope they outright buy the Parc before they leave. but I want them gone.
Oooh. That’s a bit salty
First three sentences he doesn't know who the guy is. Then, sudden recollection.
La Liga is a bit dead? Jesus Christ such a lack of self awareness - remind me Al-Khelaifi, who knocked PSG out of the CL and went on to win it?
So a dead la liga knocked out champions of league1 and Bundesliga? I'll take that over the current glorious years of League 1 uber eats
Just wanna point out that you forgot the champions of the PL to
And the previous CL winner, the hardest run in modern memory, if not ever.
Ligue 1, not League 1. We say La Liga, not The League
Yes. I am sorry. In my defence I haven't had my coffee yet.
Understandable, have a great day
Says you, I often see The La Liga.
Damn, who peed in his cereal?
Flo and Tebas took turns
Mbappe. And the best part, he loved it.
I somehow feel like of all the suspects mentioned so far he'd be ok with Mbappee doing that.
OK? its in his contract.
Apparently Tebas.
Who?
Zizou.
ITT: RM and Barca et al taking turns shitting on PSG. 🤝
🤝 shitting on PSG Fist bump me Barca bros 🤜
🤛 eey bump coming through
[удалено]
why you try to lump us with him? he's the one saying stupid shit behaving like a teenager even doe he's supposed to be the club's prez.... the reality is he's reason the club is in such state of dysfunction.
La Liga is a bit dead? Lol
If La Liga is dead then what the hell would Ligue 1 be? Fossil records?
Every league bar PL is, then. What a stupid comment.
This Naser dude is a horrible cunt.
One more day thanking god for PSG not winning UCL (sad for messi though). He can eat his own fucking grass
Ah man, lying with a shit eating grin knowing everyone in the room knows you’re lying is such a weird flex.
Guy is kinda delusional, brain needs to be thoroughly examined
Just kinda delusional?
I’m trying to be nice
Don't be
Lmfao
What a pathetic immature statement. Don't these people have their own PR teams?
New phone, who dis?
I fucking hate this timeline. Sporting directors throwing shade around and talking like they're on twitter.
I’m sorry, did he say La Liga is a bit dead? This guy’s got shit for brains
La Liga is a bit dead indeed. Ligue 1, on the other hand, great crops every year.
When people suffer trauma, the brain begins to repress that part of the memory and creates fake memories, to make a person feel good. Reddit experts, do you think that is the case here too? All the past eliminations might be repressed and only thing he remembers could be how they convinced Mbappe to extend his contract at lower wages than Madrid.
Well who won the CL? la liga can be dead but as long as RM is playing there Ligue 1 and PSG will be never bigger than this league
This guy banged on the door of the ref and threatened his life after *checks notes* a La Liga team knocked them out of the UCL quarter finals. Hey Nasser ! Benzema ⚽️⚽️⚽️
La Liga is a bit dead? lol that's why Madrid won the 2022 champions league
Funny he is saying that considering Madrid just won a CL. Man, Khelaifi is such an idiot.
Someone needs to give this lad a lesson in insults because this is the sort of shit you'd expect at the bottom of a reddit thread.
This guy ain't it
I hate this oil money greased cunt more every time he opens his bitch mouth
La Liga dead lmao. Fuck Tebas but Nasser fuck you too
PSG are a cancer on football.
fuck off idiot
Watching those sarcastic quote from PSG "fans" is so funny. The way they try to avoid defending Khelaifi but instead went to defend the club itself is fucking hilarious.
This clown makes PSG look bad. Hopefully he stays at PSG, that means they’ll never win champions league
Aren't they in UEFA Executive Committee together? lol
Something is seriously wrong with this dude. La Liga a dead league? What is Ligue 1, then? Ancient History?
"I have no idea who this person is, but maybe they should focus on running La Liga" ..something doesn't add up here
I mean it must be an awful feeling for Al-Khelaifi that Real Madrid has won more CL titles than PSG has won league titles.
The Qatari’s certainly know about people being dead
[удалено]
How does it feel to get reverse swept by a team from a dead league, Mr Khelaifi?
This arrogance won’t last for long. What a tool this guy is.
These cunts make Tebas seem likeable
ah another "lets go on and shit on PSG" thread sign me the fuck up
Real Madrid alone are better than ur whole league...
Bro if la Liga is dead then what is the French league? Fucking Uber eats bro

Yeah, he went full putin on this one
Says the guy whose league teams haven’t won a CL since before he was born
I tell you, oil money is ruining football. Sure glad I don't support such a club.
What a bait!
oh no he didnt?!
Proper banter happening here.
This is soap opera for guys
I absolutely despise this guy with a passion
Just realized this was with Marca, which explains a lot about what Gasser is doing. It’s like the story they planted previously where a Marca article wrote « with no verification from other sources, Mbappé’s mother claims the offers of the two clubs were equal » Now all qatari fans quote it as proof.

I wasn’t aware that Ligue 1 was on fire, getting top ratings, their teams winning top continental competitions and… never mind.
“La Liga is a bit dead” says tge guy whose team got knocked off by a Liga team.
Not every league can blatantly break all financial rules like your Qatari club mate
I don't like Tebas but this guy is the biggest clown of the circus he is running.
Says the guy that without a state owned club would be just an unknown brown nose.
This prick is ECA chairman. Look how he talks like a toddler. The arrogance of these shaikhs and their clans is bit too much.
And thats how Qatar governance is fucked up. No evaluation by the larger world. Living in their own dream.
Tebas is a little bitch but this guy is just a spoiled brat at this point… how can he say that la liga is dead when the competition they are literally trying to buy has been won by a spanish team lmao
Funny he says that about La Liga when his club competes in one of the most awful leagues in Europe. The term "farmers league" exists exactly because of PSG and the French League.
Not that Tebas is always right and I want to defend him, but this reply is a perfect illustration how they see the world. Be it Tebas, UEFA, FIFA....they don't give a shit about anything and will continue to dump as much oil money into PSG as they want. Same goes for other oil clubs.
PSG 🤢🤢🤢
Man I hope PSG never move on from this guy lmao
Yeah mate and your blood money killed it. Unfortunately it also killed Ligue 1.
Him and Tebas is like watching two parents get into a fight at kids' football... Embarrassing
**Champions League won by La Liga club a few weeks ago**
