| Real Madrid secured qualification to the Champions League last 16 by beating PSG |
A COMMENTATOR has been sacked after falling asleep and snoring in a hilarious incident during Real Madrid and PSG’s Champions League group stage match on Tuesday.
Chinese pundit Dong Lu was acting as co-commentator for LeTV’s coverage of match, which started early Wednesday morning Beijing time, when he dozed off.
The match at the Bernabeu kicked off at 3:45am local time, and fatigue got the better of the 46-year-old in the final 20 minutes as he can be heard snoring, leaving football fans across China laughing.
However, his employers at LeTV did not see the funny side to the story, as the man with 20 years of experience analysing football matches has now been fired.
Dong apologised for the incident and vowed to continue in his profession through his personal online blog.
The match ended 1–0 to Real Madrid, who secured qualification to knockout stages with two games to spare.
