This time, there was no cowboy hat or verbal clash. John Textor, president of Lyon, and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, his counterpart at Paris Saint-Germain, were in peace and harmony. The two had previously clashed fiercely during negotiations over Ligue 1 broadcasting rights, where the PSG president had called Textor a “cowboy,” and the American responded by wearing a cowboy hat to mock Al-Khelaifi.

But now, it’s time for reconciliation. Al-Khelaifi has invited Textor to watch the UEFA Champions League semi-final between PSG and Arsenal from the VIP box. The Lyon president has gladly accepted the invitation.

He wrote on his Instagram account: “I’m very happy to be invited by Paris Saint-Germain to tonight’s UEFA Champions League semi-final. I’m also happy to work with Nasser Al-Khelaifi again during this critical period—collaborating to face challenges and seize opportunities in French football. In moments like these, we will work together. So, I left my cowboy hat in Lyon. Tonight, I support France!”
