Celebrating a vital goal by your ex-club? Heaven forbid!
That’s the heinous crime that David Beckham committed whilst watching former club Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
The 40-year-old was present in the Chelsea directors’ box to support the Parisians along with son Brooklyn, and was understandably made up when PSG scored their first goal.
But the Times report that Chelsea vice-president Joe Hemani was less than impressed with Beckham’s show of pleasure and an altercation took place.
This is the broadsheet’s take on the incident. It seems a little petty…
‘It is alleged that Joe Hemani, an IT entrepreneur who has been a vice-president of the club for 31 years, quarrelled with the Beckhams after the former England captain applauded Adrien Rabiot’s opening goal for PSG.
‘Chelsea confirmed that an incident took place, but the club and Hemani deny that he used any rude language or gestures insisting that he merely told the Beckhams to calm down.
‘Hemani is believed to have taken umbrage at the Beckhams’ response to Rabiot’s goal, which involved Brooklyn jumping out of his seat and his father applauding.’
