An Argentinian family landed home late Wednesday after the owner of French football club PSG paid for their flights following weeks stranded in Qatar, reported The Peninsula.

Valeria Marsili, 42, and her three daughters had their flights canceled without reimbursement on June 5 after Qatar’s neighbours imposed a blockade on the Gulf state.

They had been visiting Marsili's husband and father of the girls, Gabriel Aguero, 41, who works as a chef in Qatar. They could not afford the $6,000 to buy new tickets.

After AFP reported their plight, the family received an offer of help from the son of Marcelo Simonian, a football agent representing Argentina and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Javier Pastore.

The Simonians contacted the Qatari authorities and Nasser Al Khelaifi, chairman of Qatar Sports Investments, the group that owns PSG.

“My son told me what was going on, I told the story to Nasser. He automatically told me that he’ll take care of the problem and he’ll resolve it,” Marcelo Simonian told AFP by email.

After Nasser’s intervention the Qatari government ‘gave new tickets for the family for free,’ he added.

Marsili and the three girls landed back in Buenos Aires on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha via Sao Paulo, reported Gulf Times. Aguero stayed on in the Qatari capital, where he works.

“We’re tired but content. Fortunately this has been resolved and we’re back home again,” Marsili told AFP at the Ezeiza International Airport after more than 20 hours of travel.

Marsili and her daughters Bernadita and Renata — 13 year-old twins — and eight-year-old Emilia were welcomed at the airport by friends and relatives.
