Real Madrid’s recent Champions League bout with PSG may well have been of a glitzy meeting of two European giants, it didn’t however stop a Chinese commentator from literally falling asleep live on air.
Dong Lu of LeTV was fired from his position when 10 minutes from time, with the borefest stuck at 0-0, he nodded off with the snores very much audible for those tuning into the live coverage. We can only presume that Nacho’s eventual winner woke him from his deep stupor.
Despite his 20 years service, the incident was deemed to severe for him to stay in employment.
With his head held high following his accidental protest against boring football, Lu commentated that he will carry on reporting on football from his personal blog.
