We'll tell you why things started well for PSG in London.  Because before you even set foot in the Emirates Stadium,  Nasser Al-Khelaïfi  was already…  like at home And for good reason: the English capital is one of his favorite playgrounds, especially when it comes to  paddle .

A bit of fiction (or not, for that matter)…

Padel, its secret garden

President of  Paris Saint-Germain ,  QSI ,  bein sports …and also of  Premier Padel , Nasser is above all a  huge padel enthusiast . The kind of discreet but tenacious passion that accompanies him wherever he goes. So when his schedule takes him to London, there's only one question: where can he play a game?

Heading to the Harbour Club, obviously

According to information from  Figaro , it's on the very chic side  Chelsea Harbour Club  that the PSG president exchanged a few blows with his racket, before the Champions League semi-final against  Arsenal .

And we must believe that these  padel trips  bring luck to Paris: PSG won  1/0 on the Gunners' pitch , during this  first leg  perfectly mastered.

Meet at the Park

Le  return match  is already scheduled for  Parc des Princes  le  7 may next , and we imagine that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi could well swap his manager's costume for a padel polo shirt the day before the match.  Superstition or simple passion , it doesn't matter: as long as it wins, everything is good to take.
