PSG is also 'playing' in Braga.

The fund owned by the French club QSI acquired 20% of the shares of Real Madrid's rival, Paris Saint-Germain, over a year ago. According to information, the relationship between PSG and Real Madrid is currently not friendly. Because of this, it can be assumed that there are not many reasons in Paris to support one of their main rivals in the Champions League, Real Madrid, whether it be the saga with Mbappé or the disagreements surrounding the Super League, between its initiator Florentino Pérez and one of its staunch opponents, UEFA Executive Committee member and President of the European Football Association Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

However, PSG has another compelling reason to support "Sporting Braga" this evening. The fact is that the club is owned by the QSI (Qatar Sport Investment) fund, which announced the acquisition of 21.7% of the Portuguese team's shares in October last year. Under the signed agreement, "Sporting Lisbon" guaranteed full autonomy in managing the club. All of this means that "Portugal is a football country with some of the most passionate fans and one of the best talent networks in the world.

SC Braga is an exemplary Portuguese club with a prestigious history, huge ambitions, and a reputation for excellence both on and off the field," noted the president of PSG when announcing the deal. It is worth mentioning that such an approach is prohibited by UEFA: "No one can directly or indirectly participate in the management, administration, and/or sporting activities of more than one club participating in UEFA club competitions. No individual or legal entity may control or influence more than one club participating in UEFA club competitions," states Article 5 of UEFA's rules.

Multi-ownership in football is no exception, and there are cases where it is much more evident. For example, the company Red Bull owns two football clubs - "Salzburg" in Austria and "RB Leipzig" in Germany, which have already faced each other in the Europa League. Qatar has long been looking for ways to continue its development in sports. QSI has also considered the possibility of acquiring the Spanish club "Malaga," but this deal is still under review.
