Nasser Al-Khelaifi bumped into a young Paris Saint-Germain fan on the streets of New York and turned an ordinary encounter into a heartwarming moment by gifting the child's family tickets to the upcoming Club World Cup final.
"Seeing such passion for our club thousands of miles from Paris is what football is all about. These young supporters deserve to experience the magic of a final," – the PSG president reportedly shared with his associates.
PSG players and management have remained in the United States while most football stars have already departed following their Club World Cup matches. The French side is now focused on Sunday's championship match against "Chelsea" on July 13, with the atmosphere building toward what promises to be an exciting showdown.
By the way, both finalists earned their spots through impressive performances. "PSG" stunned "Real Madrid" with a remarkable 4-0 victory in their semifinal, while "Chelsea" secured their place by defeating Brazilian club "Fluminense" 2-0.
Thanks to this chance meeting, one more family will join thousands of supporters at the New York stadium. Rather nice gesture from a club president during such a high-pressure tournament week, isn't it?
