PSG president Al-Khelaifi: Man Utd striker Cavani almost gave me heart attack!

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi admits he almost had a "heart attack" as Edinson Cavani saw a header hit the crossbar during victory at Manchester United.

The former PSG striker came close to getting United back in the game, which eventually was lost 3-1.

Al-Khelaifi said after the Champions League triumph: "My feeling on the Cavani bar? A heart attack (laughs). Really, it was difficult. This kind of match, everyone wants to win, we also had a lot of chances. But I think we were really decisive, we scored three goals, that's the most important.

"Now we will continue because we are not yet qualified. We are happy but we are not yet qualified. It is our objective to qualify."
