Paris Saint-Germain's sporting director, Leonardo, asked his TV presenter partner, Anna Billò, to marry him live on air after Friday's Champions League quarter-final draw.

Billò, who was presenting Sky Italia's coverage of the event in Switzerland, was speaking to Leonardo about PSG's quarter-final pairing with Barcelona when she asked him if he had any questions for the studio panel.

The former Brazil midfielder, a former Milan and Internazionale coach, leapt on the opportunity, saying: "Anna, do you want to marry me?" to a clearly embarrassed Billò. Leonardo, who already has a son with Billò, carried on while everyone in the studio laughed.

"Do you want to marry me? You have to answer me now. I'm waiting for your answer. It's not that difficult," he said. The shocked but smiling Billò stuttered: "OK … We'll see."

The presenter's microphone remained on while the show went to an advert break and she could be seen fanning herself with a piece of paper and declaring: "He's gone mad."

I think Raymond Domenech did similar after the world cup final in 2006, he was also rejected if I remember correctly.

Domenechs looked so bad because he seemed to only bring it up to deflect the question about him resigning and it wasn't really a proposal, more of a statement.

We'll always have Paris...Saint-Germain's quarter-final draw.
