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 homeAnd 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.

Franck Binisti

Franck Binisti discovered padel at the Club des Pyramides in 2009 in the Paris region. Since then, padel has been part of his life. You often see him touring France to cover major French padel events.
