The failed TV power move that brought Saudi v Qatar feud to Newcastle v PSG

Description

"For now, Saudi Arabia also has other neighbourly rivals in its sights, including the ultimate owners of Manchester City, according to Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer at the School of Security Studies at King’s College London. “Most of the competition in the region has now moved from #Saudi-#Qatar to Saudi-#UAE,” said Prof Krieg.

“For that reason, I think the real grudge match is actually Newcastle playing City. Overall, the Gulf is moving from that very toxic culture of competition and confrontation during the blockade. Both countries have looked for spaces where they can compete, realising there had been so much zero-sum game. It is very different from how it was a couple of years ago.”
