This year’s Champions League final will be held in Paris on May 28th. If PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has his way, the entertainment around the final should be embellished in the next few years.
After losing the premier class in the round of 16 against Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain is only a spectator in the most important football competition at club level this year. Ironically, when the final is held in their own city, in the Stade de France. But not only because PSG will not be represented, Al-Khelaifi wants a renewal.
Super Bowl Bigger Than CL Final?
“I can’t understand how the Super Bowl can feel bigger than the Champions League final,” the 48-year-old said The Athletic thereby highlighting the “mindset, creativity and entertainment” of US shows. In American football, at the Super Bowl, the big final, it is common for big music stars to appear at halftime and create a great atmosphere with their stage program.
PSG boss encourages rethinking
The PSG boss can well imagine such a show as an opening ceremony in a Champions League season: “I suggested a game on the opening night where the winner plays a big team – maybe that’s not a good idea, but we should at least challenge the status quo. Every game has to be an event and entertainment.”
