Lyon Fans Protest PSG Ownership as OL President Responds to 'Cowboy' Remark

Olympique Lyonnais president John Textor wore a cowboy hat to mock PSG's Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, while Lyon supporters displayed banners criticizing Qatar's influence in French football.

John Textor, president of Olympique Lyonnais, arrived at the Groupama Stadium wearing a cowboy hat in response to being labeled a 'cowboy' by PSG's Nasser Al-Khelaïfi during a prior meeting over TV rights.
Lyon fans displayed banners and a tifo criticizing Qatar's influence in French football, with messages targeting Al-Khelaïfi and PSG's ownership.
The banners included phrases such as 'Qatar mafia' and 'Nasser, quit football,' highlighting longstanding opposition to PSG's Qatari-backed ownership.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was not present at the match, as he was in Doha overseeing a tennis tournament in his role as president of the Qatar Tennis Federation.
Tensions between the two clubs have escalated, reflecting broader disputes over TV rights and governance in French football.
