No cowboy hat or weapon pass this time. John Textor, the president of Lyon, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, his Parisian counterpart were at peace. The two men had largely opposed during negotiations on TV rights in Ligue 1, the Parisian leader treating the Lyonnais in “Cowboy”. The American replied by sporting a Stetson on his head.
But, obviously, the Peace Calumet was smoked between the two leaders. Al-Khelaïfi invited Textor to attend the Champions League semi-final between PSG and Arsenal in the presidential gallery. And the OL boss was sensitive to the gesture.
“Very happy to be invited by PSG for the semi-final of the Champions League this evening,” he wrote on his Instagram account. Also happy to collaborate with Nak again in this critical period, on the challenges and opportunities of French football. In moments like this, we will work together … So I left my cowboy hat in Lyon. Tonight, I support France! »»
