Press comment: ‘Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung’ on the Champions League | 08/24/20

HANNOVER (dpa-AFX) – “Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung” on the Champions League:

“On Sunday evening at the game between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, you could have fun counting the millions who were wearing shorts and running through the empty Lisbon stadium. But despite all the joy at Mbappé’s speed or the coolness Lewandowskis inevitably asked the question: Where do these millions actually come from? The answer is even more unsavory among the French than with the Bavarians: The club is 100 percent owned by the Emirate of Qatar. For the monarch from the oil– and natural gas state, the club from Paris is part of a strategy that has recently been referred to as “sportswashing”: The dictatorship, in which human rights are still not very important, is modern and cool with the help of sport. The usually morally moronic Bayern bosses are also flexible when it comes to the origin of the money. For years they have counted Qatar among their so-called “platinum partners” and honor it every year by booking a training camp in the desert. “/ Yyzz / DP / he
