Leeds owner Radrizzani makes Champions League claim on Khabib’s Instagram story

UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov has posted a video on his Instagram story from inside the Nou Camp on Tuesday night, which includes Andrea Radrizzani – and the Leeds owner makes a Champions League claim about his club.

Barcelona were battered 4-1 at the Nou Camp on Tuesday evening as Champions League football returned. Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG were excellent, largely thanks to Kylian Mbappe who scored a hat-trick on the night.

Radrizzani is renowned for his Europe-wide footballing connections, recently being spotted attending a meeting at Inter Milan’s headquarters. Now, he has been spotted at the Nou Camp, taking in PSG’s excellent 4-1 victory.

The Leeds owner appeared on Khabib’s story – which has been posted on Twitter. It shows him watching a Leeds video of his own, which Khabib mentions, before Radrizzani says: “One day, we will be in the Champions League.”

TBR’s view – Why was Radrizzani at the Nou Camp?

Who knows. If it was to do a spot of talent searching, he is certainly looking at the cream of the crop – given both Barcelona and PSG’s players considered the most expensive in the world – and on the biggest contracts possible.

It is much more likely that he was there for another reason, but to appear on UFC’s Khabib is a strange one. However, his claim about Champions League football will certainly excite Leeds supporters.
