Paris Saint-Germain director Leonardo asked his Italian TV presenter girlfriend to marry him live on television during the Champions League quarter-finals draw.
The Brazilian was in Nyon speaking to Sky Sport Italia about the draw, in which PSG were paired with Barcelona, when he popped the question to the host in the studio Anna Billò.
She laughed nervously and said “we’ll talk about it at home” after he pointed out she had “already said no to me twice.”
The pair have been together for four years and already have a child together, but have so far resisted the temptation to get hitched.
Later Billò was interviewed on the same channel about the incident that quickly went viral online.
She said: “I realise I am a very lucky woman. It was a strange and difficult moment to deal with, as I tend to be quite reserved.
“In fact, it’s surprising that knowing me he would do such a thing! It was a huge surprise for everyone. I thought it was a joke at first and was completely shocked.”
