UEFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi following heated incidents following the team's Champions League loss to Real Madrid.
The Qatari is also a member of UEFA's executive committee, the chairman of the influential European Club Association, and the CEO of Doha-based broadcaster beIN Media Group, which holds key Champions League television rights.
The disciplinary case, which also includes sporting director Leonardo, was initiated in response to reports that Al-Khelaifi went in search of match officials on Wednesday night to protest refereeing decisions.
PSG was defeated 3-1 in Madrid, sending them out of the round of 16 with a 3-2 aggregate loss. The French side had led 1-0 after the first leg, and Kylian Mbappe scored again in Madrid to give PSG a 2-0 aggregate lead, which was erased by Karim Benzema's hat trick.
UEFA confirmed the disciplinary cases had been opened but did not provide further details.
