Al-Khelaifi went on a furious tirade after watching his side get eliminated, according to several reports in Spain.
The French giants were dumped out in the last-16 after letting a 2-0 lead on aggregate slip away at the Bernabeu on Wednesday evening March 9.
PSG led 1-0 early on thanks to Kylian Mbappe, but a hat-trick from Karim Benzema in the space of just 17 minutes saw Madrid seal a 3-1 victory to progress into the quarter-finals.
The Qatari was said to have been seen storming through the corridors at the Bernabeu post-match, shouting and searching for match referee Danny Makkelie says Marca.
The incident was described as ‘frankly unpleasant’ by reporter Monica Marchante, according to El Partidazo de COPE.
Reports from L’Equipe, suggest an excerpt from the referees’ report sent by UEFA quoted by Onda Cero, Al-Khelaifi, and sporting director Leonardo: ‘Behaved aggressively and tried to enter the referee’s dressing room.
‘When the referee asked them to leave, the president hit a piece of the assistant’s equipment, breaking it.’

According to Diario AS, a Madrid employee recorded the incident with his mobile, Al Khelaifi noticed it and hit his phone threatening: ‘I’m going to kill you.’
In the end, it was reported that PSG sent a protocol employee from the French club to apologise to the referees and Real Madrid.
