Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani went down to the tunnel at full-time to see all of the players off the pitch.
Leeds fans have reacted after a video was posted on Twitter showing Andrea Radrizzani by the tunnel following the Whites’ defeat to Queens Park Rangers embracing all of the players as they left the pitch.
It was a hugely disappointing night for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, with a victory set to take them back to the top of the Championship ahead of Friday’s huge game with promotion rivals West Brom.
But Luke Freeman scored the game’s only goal shortly after the break. And while Leeds dominated possession and much of the contest appeared to be played in the home side’s half, the Whites rarely looked like finding an equaliser.
It was the kind of performance that has left a lot of Leeds fans feeling extremely pessimistic about the club’s promotion hopes. With QPR losing seven on the spin in the league, it appeared to be an ideal opportunity for the Whites to keep their winning momentum going heading into Friday.
But despite the disappointment, Radrizzani made sure that he was down by the pitch shortly after the full-time whistle to shake hands with all of the players as they headed for the dressing room. Interestingly however, the reaction to the video has been mixed.
Some Leeds fans feel that a greater gesture would have been to make more signings in January – though that may not be his fault with Bielsa clearly preferring to work with a smaller squad – but plenty have praised Radrizzani as they believe that it was a classy touch to console the players.
Here is the video and the best of the reaction…
