In past Champions League draws there have been claims of rigging from the Catalan press. The greatest half-baked conspiracy once came from Turkey when a pundit suggested that UEFA used hot balls to rig the draw.
On Monday, Sport spread a conspiracy theory about
Ruud Gullit & the Champions League draw. Sport have had the audacity to suggest something was awry with Ruud Gullit because of his face.
They claim the Dutch legend had a “very suspicious smile” on his face after he drew Barcelona against PSG.
They closed their conspiracy theory with the following:
We do not know if it was also a nod to his friend and former teammate, Patrick Kluivert, now sporting director of PSG, who FC Barcelona will face.
PSG won their first meeting against Barca in the quarterfinals of the 1994-95 competition, but the Catalan club won the quarterfinal meetings in 2012-13 and 2014-15. The two clubs also met in the group stage in 2014, when PSG won at the Parc des Princes and Barca won at the Camp Nou.
PSG director of football Patrick Kluivert, a former Barcelona striker, told BT: "You know that the possibility is there to draw one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"We've experienced playing against Barcelona a couple of times in the quarterfinals and once in the group stage.
"We have to face it. That's the draw. We can't hide."
Meanwhile Barca vice president Jordi Mestre told beIN SPORTS: "[PSG] are an old acquaintance, they're not an easy team to play at all. Until now, things have gone well when we've faced them, but every season is different. In the Champions League there are no easy teams. Out of who we could have drawn, Bayern were the most difficult, but PSG are a great team."
