Spicy news shortly before the reunion. When the Champions League starts soon, Borussia Dortmund will also face Paris Saint Germain. In addition to AC Milan and Newcastle United, the French belong to the Dortmund group.
The PSG duel in particular could be a heated one. Both clubs look back on a tricky past. And right now Borussia Dortmund is embroiled in another dispute.
Borussia Dortmund: PSG spends millions
In the current case, Paris President Nasser Al-Khelaifi feels like he has been taken aback. What happened? A few weeks ago, PSG sold superstar Neymar to Saudi Arabia for 90 million euros. A proud sum for the 31-year-old. But money doesn’t play any role in the desert state anyway.

It is also thanks to this sale that the club is once again able to avoid a Financial Fair Play penalty. The Qatari owners had opened their wallets again for access. Borussia Dortmund’s CL opponent spent 349 million euros in the summer!
President insulted – Watzke mediates
A fact that apparently angered BVB finance boss Thomas Treß. According to “The Athletic”, Treß criticized PSG at the general meeting of the European Club Association. With the millions of sums from Saudi Arabia, they would have undermined financial fair play.
Of course, Al-Khelaifi is said not to have been happy about this. He then confronted Treß. Afterwards, Hans-Joachim Watzke still had to apologize by phone to the PSG president.
Borussia Dortmund: Not the first dispute
This is by no means the first dispute between Dortmund and Paris. In 2020, both sides clashed twice. First they faced each other in the round of 16 of the Champions League. BVB won 2-1 in the first leg. Erling Haaland cheered with his prayer pose. In the second leg, the French then mocked the striker and BVB because they had turned the deficit around.
